This is a good example of a test that doesn't really make sense, IPoIB
is certainly a port specific attribute.

And down here we test every port.

The routine should just test every port and do nothing if no ports
need IPoIB.

This test should be made redundant by having ib_get_client_data return
null if ipoib_add_one didn't do anything. Maybe that already happens?
