Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 1/5] net/smc: Make smc_tcp_listen_work() independent

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@...ux.alibaba.com>

In multithread and 10K connections benchmark, the backend TCP connection
established very slowly, and lots of TCP connections stay in SYN_SENT
state.

Client: smc_run wrk -c 10000 -t 4 http://server

the netstate of server host shows like:
    145042 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed
    145042 SYNs to LISTEN sockets dropped

One reason of this issue is that, since the smc_tcp_listen_work() shared
the same workqueue (smc_hs_wq) with smc_listen_work(), while the
smc_listen_work() do blocking wait for smc connection established. Once
the workqueue became congested, it's will block the accept() from TCP
listen.

This patch creates a independent workqueue(smc_tcp_ls_wq) for
smc_tcp_listen_work(), separate it from smc_listen_work(), which is
quite acceptable considering that smc_tcp_listen_work() runs very fast.
