Older kernels have a bug where it can report an event with the
uid set to 0. The librdmacm crashes when casting the uid to
an rdma_cm_id and dereferencing the NULL pointer.
There are a limited number of events where this can occur and
in most cases it's safe to simply discard the event. (This is
what the kernel does anyway.) However, it's possible for us
to process an RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED event with the uid
set to 0. (See kernel commit 418edaaba96e58112b15c82b4907084e2a9caf42.)
Although it's rare for this to occur, it does in fact happen
in practice. To work-around the kernel bug, when the uid of an
established event is set to 0, we first try to locate the correct
user space id based on related data before discarding the event.

librdmacm: Define ucma_ib_init when IB_ACM is disabled
ucma_ib_init is only defined if IB_ACM is enabled, which is
determined by looking for the infiniband/acm.h header file.
