IB/core: Read subnet_prefix in ib_query_port via cache.
ib_query_port() calls device->ops.query_port() to get the port attributes. The method of querying is device driver specific. The same function calls device->ops.query_gid() to get the GID and extract the subnet_prefix (gid_prefix). The GID and subnet_prefix are stored in a cache. But they do not get read from the cache if the device is an Infiniband device. The following change takes advantage of the cached subnet_prefix. Testing with RDBMS has shown a significant improvement in performance with this change.
