Some HCAs (e.g: ConnectX4) do not trigger a IB_EVENT_GID_CHANGE on
subnet prefix update from SM (PortInfo).
Since the commit
d58c23c92548 ("IB/core: Only update PKEY and GID caches
on respective events"), the GID cache is updated exclusively on
IB_EVENT_GID_CHANGE. If this event is not emitted, the subnet prefix in the
IPoIB interface’s hardware address remains set to its default value
(0xfe80000000000000).
Then rdma_bind_addr() failed because it relies on hardware address to
find the port GID (subnet_prefix + port GUID).
This patch fixes this issue by updating the GID cache on
IB_EVENT_CLIENT_REREGISTER event (emitted on PortInfo::ClientReregister=1).
