net/smc: bpf: Introduce generic hook for handshake flow

This patch introduces BPF struct_ops hooks to allow eBPF programs to
control SMC protocol usage during TCP handshake. Users can write custom
implementations to decide whether to use SMC based on runtime context
like IP addresses and ports.

Can this leak the module reference if the function fails later? When
bpf_try_module_get() succeeds here and assigns ctrl to net->smc.hs_ctrl,
but then kmemdup() fails below, the code jumps to err_alloc which calls
smc_net_replace_smc_hs_ctrl(net, NULL). However, at that point
net->smc.hs_ctrl already holds the reference we just acquired.

The smc_net_replace_smc_hs_ctrl() function will set net->smc.hs_ctrl
to NULL, but the module reference acquired earlier won't be released
since the xchg() at smc_sysctl.c:58 will return NULL (the ctrl was
assigned but the xchg expects the RCU_INITIALIZER wrapper).
