Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 70/70] IB/core: Use GRH when the path hop-limit > 0

v3.19.8-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@...lanox.com>

commit 11d8d645343efba0c975aefe7c2cf3b33c836c75 upstream.

According to IBTA spec v1.3 section 12.7.19, QPs should use GRH when
the path returned by the SA has hop-limit > 0. Currently, we do that
only for the > 1 case, fix that.
