In addr_handler(), cma_acquire_dev_by_src_ip() is called to populate
id_priv->cma_dev and bind the associated ib_device to id_priv->id.device.
If cma_acquire_dev_by_src_ip() returns an error (non-zero status), the ID
remains unassociated with any RDMA device.
Previously, rdma_restrack_add(&id_priv->res) was invoked unconditionally
even when cma_acquire_dev_by_src_ip() failed, passing a resource with a
NULL dev pointer and triggering the WARN_ON assertion in res_to_rt().
Fix this by only adding the resource to restrack when acquiring the device
succeeds.
