net/smc: use read semaphores to reduce unnecessary blocking in smc_buf_create() & smcr_buf_unuse()

Following is part of Off-CPU graph during frequent SMC-R short-lived
processing:

process_one_work (51.19%)
smc_close_passive_work (28.36%)
smcr_buf_unuse (28.34%)
rwsem_down_write_slowpath (28.22%)

smc_listen_work (22.83%)
smc_clc_wait_msg (1.84%)
smc_buf_create (20.45%)
smcr_buf_map_usable_links
rwsem_down_write_slowpath (20.43%)
smcr_lgr_reg_rmbs (0.53%)
rwsem_down_write_slowpath (0.43%)
smc_llc_do_confirm_rkey (0.08%)

We can clearly see that during the connection establishment time,
waiting time of connections is not on IO, but on llc_conf_mutex.

What is more important, the core critical area (smcr_buf_unuse() &
smc_buf_create()) only perfroms read semantics on links, we can
easily replace it with read semaphore.
