Kamal Heib d862060a4b RDMA/rxe: Fix panic when calling kmem_cache_create()
To avoid the following kernel panic when calling kmem_cache_create() with
a NULL pointer from pool_cache(), Block the rxe_param_set_add() from
running if the rdma_rxe module is not initialized.

This can be triggered if a user tries to use the 'module option' which is
not actually a real module option but some idiotic (and thankfully no
obsolete) sysfs interface.

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.
