net/smc: Introduce a sysctl for setting SMC-R buffer type

This patch introduces the sysctl smcr_buf_type for setting
the type of SMC-R sndbufs and RMBs.

Valid values includes:

- SMCR_PHYS_CONT_BUFS, which means use physically contiguous
  buffers for better performance and is the default value.

- SMCR_VIRT_CONT_BUFS, which means use virtually contiguous
  buffers in case of physically contiguous memory is scarce.

- SMCR_MIXED_BUFS, which means first try to use physically
  contiguous buffers. If not available, then use virtually
  contiguous buffers.
