The process like this:

(CPU1) | (CPU2)
---------------------------------|-------------------------------
inet_create() |
// init clcsock to NULL |
sk = sk_alloc() |
|
// unexpectedly change clcsock |
inet_init_csk_locks() |
|
// add sk to hash table |
smc_inet_init_sock() |
smc_sk_init() |
smc_hash_sk() |
| // traverse the hash table
| smc_diag_dump_proto
| __smc_diag_dump()
| // visit wrong clcsock
| smc_diag_msg_common_fill()
// alloc clcsock |
smc_create_clcsk |
sock_create_kern |

With CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, the smc->clcsock is unexpectedly changed
in inet_init_csk_locks(), because the struct smc_sock does not have struct
inet_connection_sock as the first member.

Previous commit 60ada4fe644e ("smc: Fix various oops due to inet_sock type
confusion.") add inet_sock as the first member of smc_sock. For protocol
with INET_PROTOSW_ICSK, use inet_connection_sock instead of inet_sock is
more appropriate.
