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.
