3.16.44-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 80b5b35aba62232521b31440f0a3cf6caa033849 upstream.
When changing the connection mode, the ipoib_set_mode function
did not check if the previous connection mode equals to the
new one. This commit adds the required check and return 0 if the new
mode equals to the previous one.
Fixes: 839fcaba355a ("IPoIB: Connected mode experimental support")
