I'm good with this change.

I'm also dubious there are valid use-cases for SHMEM_OFI_PROVIDER (when FI_PROVIDER could/should be preferred), but I suppose we should keep it around in case there are more complicated scenarios alongside other runtimes... See for example ofiwg/libfabric#8079. Takeaway: SOS itself does not set FI_PROVIDER, and it shouldn't going forward. But users can set FI_PROVIDER if desired... it filters the available providers in libfabric at init.

It might be good to document somewhere that SHMEM_OFI_PROVIDER sets prov_name in the libfabric Fabric Attributes structure (see fi_fabric.3), nothing more.
