[PATCH net v2 1/2] net/smc: Fix setsockopt and sysctl to specify same buffer size again

Commit 0227f058aa29 ("net/smc: Unbind r/w buffer size from clcsock
and make them tunable") introduced the net.smc.rmem and net.smc.wmem
sysctls to specify the size of buffers to be used for SMC type
connections. This created a regression for users that specified the
buffer size via setsockopt() as the effective buffer size was now
doubled.

Re-introduce the division by 2 in the SMC buffer create code and level
this out by duplicating the net.smc.[rw]mem values used for initializing
sk_rcvbuf/sk_sndbuf at socket creation time. This gives users of both
methods (setsockopt or sysctl) the effective buffer size that they
expect.

Initialize net.smc.[rw]mem from its own constant of 64kB, respectively.
Internal performance tests show that this value is a good compromise
between throughput/latency and memory consumption. Also, this decouples
it from any tuning that was done to net.ipv4.tcp_[rw]mem[1] before the
module for SMC protocol was loaded. Check that no more than INT_MAX / 2
is assigned to net.smc.[rw]mem, in order to avoid any overflow condition
when that is doubled for use in sk_sndbuf or sk_rcvbuf.

While at it, drop the confusing sk_buf_size variable from
__smc_buf_create and name "compressed" buffer size variables more
consistently.

Background:

Before the commit mentioned above, SMC's buffer allocator in
__smc_buf_create() always used half of the sockets' sk_rcvbuf/sk_sndbuf
value as initial value to search for appropriate buffers. If the search
resorted to using a bigger buffer when all buffers of the specified
size were busy, the duplicate of the used effective buffer size is
stored back to sk_rcvbuf/sk_sndbuf.

When available, buffers of exactly the size that a user had specified as
input to setsockopt() were used, despite setsockopt()'s documentation in
"man 7 socket" talking of a mandatory duplication:

[...]
SO_SNDBUF
Sets or gets the maximum socket send buffer in bytes.
The kernel doubles this value (to allow space for book‐
keeping overhead) when it is set using setsockopt(2),
and this doubled value is returned by getsockopt(2).
The default value is set by the
/proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default file and the maximum
allowed value is set by the /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
file. The minimum (doubled) value for this option is
2048.
[...]
