So rds_ib_laddr_check() failed means either the app
isn't doing bind() before sendmsg() or ignoring the error
returned by bind() and going ahead and issuing the send.

Anyway, we can't control the application so having
this hole plugged is good.

Please include the back trace in the commit log. With
that update,
