Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/7] net/smc: add sysctl for autocorking

This add a new sysctl: net.smc.autocorking_size

We can dynamically change the behaviour of autocorking
by change the value of autocorking_size.
Setting to 0 disables autocorking in SMC

+autocorking_size - INTEGER
+	Setting SMC auto corking size:
+	SMC auto corking is like TCP auto corking from the application's
+	perspective of view. When applications do consecutive small
+	write()/sendmsg() system calls, we try to coalesce these small writes
+	as much as possible, to lower total amount of CDC and RDMA Write been
+	sent.
+	autocorking_size limits the maximum corked bytes that can be sent to
+	the under device in 1 single sending. If set to 0, the SMC auto corking
+	is disabled.
+	Applications can still use TCP_CORK for optimal behavior when they
+	know how/when to uncork their sockets.
+
+	Default: 64K
