[PATCH] RDMA/core: don't expose hw_counters outside of init net namespace

Commit 5fd8529350f0 ("RDMA/core: fix a NULL-pointer dereference in
hw_stat_device_show()") accidentally almost exposed hw counters
to non-init net namespaces. It didn't expose them fully, as an attempt
to read any of those counters leads to a crash like this one:

The problem can be reproduced using the following steps:
ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
cat /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters/*

The panic occurs because of casting the device pointer into an
ib_device pointer using container_of() in hw_stat_device_show() is
wrong and leads to a memory corruption.

However the real problem is that hw counters should never been exposed
outside of the non-init net namespace.

Fix this by saving the index of the corresponding attribute group
(it might be 1 or 2 depending on the presence of driver-specific
attributes) and zeroing the pointer to hw_counters group for compat
devices during the initialization.

With this fix applied hw_counters are not available in a non-init
net namespace:
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/1/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ports/2/hw_counters
/sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/hw_counters

ip netns add foo
ip netns exec foo bash
find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0/ -name hw_counters
