net/smc: Allow virtually contiguous sndbufs or RMBs for SMC-R

On long-running enterprise production servers, high-order contiguous
memory pages are usually very rare and in most cases we can only get
fragmented pages.

When replacing TCP with SMC-R in such production scenarios, attempting
to allocate high-order physically contiguous sndbufs and RMBs may result
in frequent memory compaction, which will cause unexpected hung issue
and further stability risks.

So this patch is aimed to allow SMC-R link group to use virtually
contiguous sndbufs and RMBs to avoid potential issues mentioned above.
Whether to use physically or virtually contiguous buffers can be set
by sysctl smcr_buf_type.

Note that using virtually contiguous buffers will bring an acceptable
performance regression, which can be mainly divided into two parts:

1) regression in data path, which is brought by additional address
   translation of sndbuf by RNIC in Tx. But in general, translating
   address through MTT is fast.

   Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, the comparisons in qperf
   latency and bandwidth test with physically and virtually contiguous
   buffers are as follows:

- client:
  smc_run taskset -c <cpu> qperf <server> -oo msg_size:1:64K:*2\
  -t 5 -vu tcp_{bw|lat}
- server:
  smc_run taskset -c <cpu> qperf

2) regression in buffer initialization and destruction path, which is
   brought by additional MR operations of sndbufs. But thanks to link
   group buffer reuse mechanism, the impact of this kind of regression
   decreases as times of buffer reuse increases.

   Taking 256KB sndbuf and RMB as an example, latency of some key SMC-R
   buffer-related function obtained by bpftrace are as follows:

   Function                         Phys-bufs           Virt-bufs
   smcr_new_buf_create()             67154 ns            79164 ns
   smc_ib_buf_map_sg()                 525 ns              928 ns
   smc_ib_get_memory_region()       162294 ns           161191 ns
   smc_wr_reg_send()                  9957 ns             9635 ns
   smc_ib_put_memory_region()       203548 ns           198374 ns
   smc_ib_buf_unmap_sg()               508 ns             1158 ns

------------
Test environment notes:
1. Above tests run on 2 VMs within the same Host.
2. The NIC is ConnectX-4Lx, using SRIOV and passing through 2 VFs to
   the each VM respectively.
3. VMs' vCPUs are binded to different physical CPUs, and the binded
   physical CPUs are isolated by `isolcpus=xxx` cmdline.
4. NICs' queue number are set to 1.
