Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] net/smc: restrict non-blocking connect finish

The smc_poll code tries to finish connect() if the socket is in
state SMC_INIT and polling of the internal CLC-socket returns with
EPOLLOUT. This makes sense for a select/poll call following a connect
call, but not without preceding connect().
With this patch smc_poll starts connect logic only, if the CLC-socket
is no longer in its initial state TCP_CLOSE.

In addition, a poll error on the internal CLC-socket is always
propagated to the SMC socket.

With this patch the code path mentioned by syzbot
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=03faa2dc16b8b64be396
is no longer possible.
