[RFC net-next 2/2] net/smc: remove locks smc_client_lgr_pending and smc_server_lgr_pending

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@linux.alibaba.com>

This patch attempts to remove locks named smc_client_lgr_pending and
smc_server_lgr_pending, which aim to serialize the creation of link
group. However, once link group existed already, those locks are
meaningless, worse still, they make incoming connections have to be
queued one after the other.

Before attempting to locking at xxx_lgr_pending, trying to invoke
smc_conn_create() firstly but does not allow it to create link group.
Once we found we MUST create link group, then we can make lock on it.
In that way, we can skip meaningless lock.
