net/smc: Prevent smc_release() from long blocking

In nginx/wrk benchmark, there's a hung problem with high probability
on case likes that: (client will last several minutes to exit)

server: smc_run nginx

client: smc_run wrk -c 10000 -t 1 http://server

Client hangs with the following backtrace:

0 [ffffa7ce8Of3bbf8] __schedule at ffffffff9f9eOd5f
1 [ffffa7ce8Of3bc88] schedule at ffffffff9f9eløe6

14 [ffffa7ce8Of3bfsO] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe at ffffffff9fa0007c

This issue dues to flush_work(), which is used to wait for
smc_connect_work() to finish in smc_release(). Once lots of
smc_connect_work() was pending or all executing work dangling,
smc_release() has to block until one worker comes to free, which
is equivalent to wait another smc_connnect_work() to finish.

In order to fix this, There are two changes:

1. For those idle smc_connect_work(), cancel it from the workqueue; for
   executing smc_connect_work(), waiting for it to finish. For that
   purpose, replace flush_work() with cancel_work_sync().

2. Since smc_connect() hold a reference for passive closing, if
   smc_connect_work() has been cancelled, release the reference.
