So fscking what. If you upgrade one part of the kernel

Currently i40iw is dependent on i40e symbols
i40e_register_client and i40e_unregister_client due to
which i40iw cannot be loaded without i40e being loaded.
This patch allows RDMA driver to build and load without
linking to LAN driver and without LAN driver being loaded
first.
