smc: add SMC rendezvous protocol
The SMC protocol [1] uses a rendezvous protocol to negotiate SMC capability between peers. The current Linux implementation does not yet use this rendezvous protocol and, thus, is not compliant to RFC7609 and incompatible with other SMC implementations like in zOS. This patch adds support for the SMC rendezvous protocol. It uses a new TCP experimental option. With this option, SMC capabilities are exchanged between the peers during the TCP three way handshake.
