When working in mutliport RoCE mode it is possible to attach a slave
before the master. In that case the slave is waiting for a master to be
attached. When the master is attached it goes over the list of waiting
slaves, finds a slave that is compatible and tries to bind it to itself.
The call stack is:
mlx5_ib_init_multiport_master() -> mlx5_ib_bind_slave_port()
In the bind function we will create a netdev notifier, but this is done
before we initialize the RoCE structure (this is done at a later stage by
the master in the ROCE stage).
Once events are delivered to that notifier we will use
mlx5_ib_get_native_port_mdev() to get the actual port and as the native
port is zero we will access an invalid index in the port structure.
Move the RoCE structure initialization to an earlier stage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
