RDMA/siw: Fabricate a GID on tun and loopback devices

Browse source

LOOPBACK and NONE (tunnel) devices have all-zero MAC addresses.
Currently, siw_device_create() falls back to copying the IB device's
name in those cases, because an all-zero MAC address breaks the RDMA
core address resolution mechanism.

However, at the point when siw_device_create() constructs a GID, the
ib_device::name field is uninitialized, leaving the MAC address to
remain in an all-zero state.

Fabricate a random artificial GID for such devices, and ensure this
artificial GID is returned for all device query operations.
