net/smc: rework pnet table



If a device does not have a pnetid, users can set a temporary pnetid for
said device in the pnet table. This patch reworks the pnet table to make
it more flexible. Multiple entries with the same pnetid but differing
devices are now allowed. Additionally, the netlink interface now sends
each mapping from pnetid to device separately to the user while
maintaining the message format existing applications might expect. Also,
the SMC data structure for ib devices already has a pnetid attribute.
So, it is used to store the user defined pnetids. As a result, the pnet
table entries are only used for netdevs.
