As you can see in the call trace attached to the commit message, When
running the "modprobe rdma_rxe add=eno1" command the rxe_param_set_add()
is called before rxe_module_init() (without init the caches), so the
call trace occurs when trying to register the allocated rxe device from
the context of rxe_param_set_add() without initialize the caches.
