net/smc: fix sender_free computation



In some scenarios a separate consumer cursor update is necessary.
The decision is made in smc_tx_consumer_cursor_update(). The
sender_free computation could be wrong:

The rx confirmed cursor is always smaller than or equal to the
rx producer cursor. The parameters in the smc_curs_diff() call
have to be exchanged, otherwise sender_free might even be negative.

And if more data arrives local_rx_ctrl.prod might be updated, enabling
a cursor difference between local_rx_ctrl.prod and rx confirmed cursor
larger than the RMB size. This case is not covered by smc_curs_diff().
Thus function smc_curs_diff_large() is introduced here.

If a recvmsg() is processed in parallel, local_tx_ctrl.cons might
change during smc_cdc_msg_send. Make sure rx_curs_confirmed is updated
with the actually sent local_tx_ctrl.cons value.
