[SPARK-6608] [SQL] Makes DataFrame.rdd a lazy val

Before 1.3.0, `SchemaRDD.id` works as a unique identifier of each `SchemaRDD`. In 1.3.0, unlike `SchemaRDD`, `DataFrame` is no longer an RDD, and `DataFrame.rdd` is actually a function which always returns a new RDD instance. Making `DataFrame.rdd` a lazy val should bring the unique identifier back.
