net/smc: Clear memory when release and reuse buffer



Currently, buffers are cleared when smc connections are created and
buffers are reused. This slows down the speed of establishing new
connections. In most cases, the applications want to establish
connections as quickly as possible.

This patch moves memset() from connection creation path to release and
buffer unuse path, this trades off between speed of establishing and
release.

Test environments:
- CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8 core, mem 32 GiB, nic Mellanox CX4
- socket sndbuf / rcvbuf: 16384 / 131072 bytes
- w/o first round, 5 rounds, avg, 100 conns batch per round
- smc_buf_create() use bpftrace kprobe, introduces extra latency

Latency benchmarks for smc_buf_create():
  w/o patch : 19040.0 ns
  w/  patch :  1932.6 ns
  ratio :        10.2% (-89.8%)

Latency benchmarks for socket create and connect:
  w/o patch :   143.3 us
  w/  patch :   102.2 us
  ratio :        71.3% (-28.7%)

The latency of establishing connections is reduced by 28.7%.
