net/smc: rebuild nonblocking connect



The recent poll change may lead to stalls for non-blocking connecting
SMC sockets, since sock_poll_wait is no longer performed on the
internal CLC socket, but on the outer SMC socket.  kernel_connect() on
the internal CLC socket returns with -EINPROGRESS, but the wake up
logic does not work in all cases. If the internal CLC socket is still
in state TCP_SYN_SENT when polled, sock_poll_wait() from sock_poll()
does not sleep. It is supposed to sleep till the state of the internal
CLC socket switches to TCP_ESTABLISHED.

This problem triggered a redesign of the SMC nonblocking connect logic.
This patch introduces a connect worker covering all connect steps
followed by a wake up of socket waiters. It allows to get rid of all
delays and locks in smc_poll().

Fixes: c0129a06 ("smc: convert to ->poll_mask")
