RDMA/core: Fix broadcast address falsely detected as local

When rdma_resolve_addr() is invoked with a broadcast destination on an
IPoIB interface, is_dst_local() inspects the resolved route and
incorrectly concludes that the address is local. As a result, the
resolution fails with -ENODEV.
The issue stems from using '&' to compare rt_type with RTN_LOCAL. The
RTN_* values form a sequential enum, not a bitmask (RTN_LOCAL=2,
RTN_BROADCAST=3). Thus, "rt_type & RTN_LOCAL" yields a non-zero result
for a broadcast route as well.

Replace '&' with '==' when comparing rt_type against RTN_LOCAL.
