[RFC PATCH net-next v4 7/9] net/smc: Avoid data copy from sndbuf to peer RMB in SMC-D

This patch aims to avoid data copy from local sndbuf to peer RMB by
attaching local sndbuf to peer RMB when DMBs have ISM_DMB_MAPPABLE
attribute.

After this, local sndbuf and peer RMB share the same physical memory.

+----------+ +----------+
| socket A | | socket B |
+----------+ +----------+
| ^
| +---------+ |
regard as | | ----------|
local sndbuf | B's | regard as
| | RMB | local RMB
|-------> | |
+---------+

1. Actions on local RMB.

a. Create or reuse RMB when connection is created;
b. Unuse RMB when connection is freed;
c. Free RMB when link group is freed;

2. Actions on local sndbuf.

a. Attach local sndbuf to peer RMB by the rtoken exchanged through
CLC message. Since then, accessing local sndbuf is equivalent to
accessing peer RMB
b. sndbuf_desc is exclusive to specific connection and won't be
added to lgr buffer pool for reuse.
c. Local sndbuf is detached from peer RMB and freed when connection
is freed.

Therefore, the data written to local sndbuf will directly reach peer RMB.
