Linux always uses exactly one RMBE per RMB (index 1 for SMC-R) and
one DMBE per DMB (index 0 for SMC-D), so conn->tx_off is always zero.
Hardcode these fixed values instead of deriving tx_off from the
peer-supplied rmbe_idx / dmbe_idx in the CLC Accept/Confirm message.

Fixes: e6727f39004b ("smc: send data (through RDMA)")
Fixes: 413498440e30 ("net/smc: add SMC-D support in af_smc")
