net/smc: don't send in the BH context if sock_owned_by_user
Send data all the way down to the RDMA device is a time consuming operation(get a new slot, maybe do RDMA Write and send a CDC, etc). Moving those operations from BH to user context is good for performance. If the sock_lock is hold by user, we don't try to send data out in the BH context, but just mark we should send. Since the user will release the sock_lock soon, we can do the sending there. Add smc_release_cb() which will be called in release_sock() and try send in the callback if needed. This patch moves the sending part out from BH if sock lock is hold by user. In my testing environment, this saves about 20% softirq in the qperf 4K tcp_bw test in the sender side with no noticeable throughput drop.
