Subject: IB/core: Fix two kernel warnings triggered by rxe registration

From: Bart Van Assche <[email protected]>

commit 02ee9da347873699603d9ce0112a80b5dd69dea1 upstream.

Eliminate the WARN_ONs that create following two warnings when registering an rxe device:

The code should accept either a parent pointer or a fully specified DMA specification without producing warnings.
