Subject: [PATCH 3.16 033/212] IB/ipoib: Set device connection mode only
 when needed

3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@...lanox.com>

commit 80b5b35aba62232521b31440f0a3cf6caa033849 upstream.

When changing the connection mode, the ipoib_set_mode function
did not check if the previous connection mode equals to the
new one. This commit adds the required check and return 0 if the new
mode equals to the previous one.

Fixes: 839fcaba355a ("IPoIB: Connected mode experimental support")
