[PATCH net-next 2/2] net/smc: reduce TX slot contention with exclusive wait

["D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>]

smc_wr_tx_get_free_slot() waits for a free TX slot with
wait_event_interruptible_timeout(). Since the wait_event family
enqueues waiters as non-exclusive, wake_up() may wake multiple
waiters even though only one can use the slot, causing
thundering-herd contention when slots are scarce.

Use an exclusive wait loop with prepare_to_wait_exclusive() so
wake_up() wakes only one waiter per freed slot.
smc_wr_wakeup_tx_wait() still uses wake_up_all() during link
teardown, so teardown behavior is unchanged.

Performance measured with netperf TCP_RR (63 flows, 200B write /
1000B read, 60s duration):
