[PATCH net-next 14/15] net/smc: introduce loopback-ism DMB data copy control

[Wen Gu <guwen@linux.alibaba.com>]

This provides a way to {get|set} whether loopback-ism device supports
merging sndbuf with peer DMB to eliminate data copies between them.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_copy # support
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/dmb_copy # not support

The settings take effect after re-activating loopback-ism by:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/active
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/smc/loopback-ism/active

After this, the link group related to loopback-ism will be flushed and
the sndbufs of subsequent connections will be merged or not merged with
peer DMB.

The motivation of this control is that the bandwidth will be highly
improved when sndbuf and DMB are merged, but when virtually contiguous
DMB is provided and merged with sndbuf, it will be concurrently accessed
on Tx and Rx, then there will be a bottleneck caused by lock contention
of find_vmap_area when there are many CPUs and CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY
is set (see link below). So an option is provided.
