net/smc: Introduce a specific sysctl for TEST_LINK time
SMC-R tests the viability of link by sending out TEST_LINK LLC messages over RoCE fabric when connections on link have been idle for a time longer than keepalive interval (testlink time). But using tcp_keepalive_time as testlink time maybe not quite suitable because it is default no less than two hours[1], which is too long for single link to find peer dead. The active host will still use peer-dead link (QP) sending messages, and can't find out until get IB_WC_RETRY_EXC_ERR error CQEs, which takes more time than TEST_LINK timeout (SMC_LLC_WAIT_TIME) normally. So this patch introduces a independent sysctl for SMC-R to set link keepalive time, in order to detect link down in time. The default value is 30 seconds.
