Subject: [PATCH net 1/3] net/smc: Resolve the race between link group access and termination

We encountered some crashes caused by the race between the access
and the termination of link groups.

Here are some of panic stacks we met:

1) Race between smc_clc_wait_msg() and __smc_lgr_terminate()

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000002f0

There are some other panic places and they are caused by the
similar reason as described above, which is accessing link
group after termination, thus getting a NULL pointer or invalid
resource.

Currently, there seems to be no synchronization between the
link group access and a sudden termination of it. This patch
tries to fix this by introducing reference count of link group
and not freeing link group until reference count is zero.

Link group might be referred to by links or smc connections. So
the operation to the link group reference count can be concluded
as follows:

object          [hold or initialized as 1]         [put]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
link group      smc_lgr_create()                   smc_lgr_free()
connections     smc_lgr_register_conn()            smc_conn_free()
links           smcr_link_init()                   smcr_link_clear()

Througth this way, we extend the life cycle of link group and
ensure it is longer than the life cycle of connections and links
above it, so that avoid invalid access to link group after its
termination.
