A client that disappears without sending a FIN or RST can leave its
ksmbd connection in ESTABLISHED indefinitely. ksmbd sets a socket
receive timeout, but the connection receive loop retries timeout errors
without a limit, so the connection remains in conn_list and consumes the
per-IP connection quota.

Enable SO_KEEPALIVE on accepted TCP sockets so the TCP stack can detect a
silent peer failure. The keepalive idle time, interval, and probe count
remain controlled by the existing TCP sysctl settings.
