Subject[PATCH] rds: Error on offset mismatch if not loopback
Attempting an rds connection from the IP address of an IPoIB interface
to itself causes a kernel panic due to a BUG_ON() being triggered.
Making the test less strict allows rds-ping to work without crashing
the machine.

A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
