Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 6/7] net/smc: reduce unnecessary blocking in smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs()

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

Unlike smc_buf_create() and smcr_buf_unuse(), smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs() is
exclusive when assigned rmb_desc was not registered, although it can be
executed in parallel when assigned rmb_desc was registered already
and only performs read semtamics on it. Hence, we can not simply replace
it with read semaphore.

The idea here is that if the assigned rmb_desc was registered already,
use read semaphore to protect the critical section, once the assigned
rmb_desc was not registered, keep using keep write semaphore still
to keep its exclusivity.

Thanks to the reusable features of rmb_desc, which allows us to execute
in parallel in most cases.
