Subject: [PATCH 4/5] RDS: Do not send congestion updates to loopback connections

This issue was discovered by HP's Pradeep and fixed in OFED
1.3, but not fixed in later versions, since the fix's implementation
was not immediately applyable to the later code. This patch should
do the trick for 1.4+ codebases.
