net/smc: Resolve the race between SMC-R link access and clear

We encountered some crashes caused by the race between SMC-R
link access and link clear that triggered by abnormal link
group termination, such as port error.

Here is an example of this kind of crashes:

These crashes are similarly caused by clearing SMC-R link
resources when some functions is still accessing to them.
This patch tries to fix the issue by introducing reference
count of SMC-R links and ensuring that the sensitive resources
of links won't be cleared until reference count reaches zero.

The operation to the SMC-R link reference count can be concluded
as follows:

object          [hold or initialized as 1]         [put]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
links           smcr_link_init()                   smcr_link_clear()
connections     smc_conn_create()                  smc_conn_free()

Through this way, the clear of SMC-R links is later than the
free of all the smc connections above it, thus avoiding the
unsafe reference to SMC-R links.
