    IB/cm: Send DREP in response to unmatched DREQ · 82a9c16a

    Currently a DREP is only sent in response to a DREQ if a connection
    has been found matching the DREQ, and it is in the proper state.  Once
    a DREP is sent, the local connection moves into timewait.  Duplicate
    DREQs received while in this state result in re-sending the DREP.
    
    However, it's likely that the local connection will enter and exit
    timewait before the remote side times out a lost DREP and resends a DREQ.
    To handle this, we send a DREP in response to a DREQ, even if a local
    connection is not found.  This avoids maintaining disconnected
    id's in timewait states for excessively long times, just to handle a
    lost DREP.
