rdma-core new/old compatability

Hi Kamal, Jason, 

Running a version of ibv_devinfo compiled against an old rdma-core (ibv_devinfo from libibverbs-utils-16.2-3-fc28.x86_64 )
failed to run with rdma-core release 28.0 for qedr.

The patch that caused this is commit c2841076
https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core/commit/c28410765bdfe5cbed3cb2cdb1584eac3941469c#diff-8da8bc8b2790169de557d5dee83a278e

libibverbs: Fix incorrect return code ...

The proper return code is EOPNOTSUPP when an operation is not supported.

Signed-off-by: Kamal Heib <kamalheib1@xxxxxxxxx>

The reason it failed is because qedr doesn't have a query_device_ex callback, so vctx->query_device_ex returns EOPNOTSUPP, and old libibverbs
Compares the return code to ENOSYS

I think applications compiled against old rdma-core should continue to run on new ones as well.
Can this commit be reverted? 

Thanks,
Michal
