RDMA/rtrs-srv: Incorporate ib_register_client into rtrs server init

The rnbd_server module's communication manager (cm) initialization depends
on the registration of the "network namespace subsystem" of the RDMA CM
agent module. As such, when the kernel is configured to load the
rnbd_server and the RDMA cma module during initialization; and if the
rnbd_server module is initialized before RDMA cma module, a null ptr
dereference occurs during the RDMA bind operation.

Call trace:

All this happens cause the cm init is in the call chain of the module
init, which is not a preferred practice.

So remove the call to rdma_create_id() from the module init call chain.
Instead register rtrs-srv as an ib client, which makes sure that the
rdma_create_id() is called only when an ib device is added.
