net/smc: handle -ENOMEM from smc_wr_alloc_link_mem gracefully 



Currently if a -ENOMEM from smc_wr_alloc_link_mem() is handled by
giving up and going the way of a TCP fallback. This was reasonable
before the sizes of the allocations there were compile time constants
and reasonably small. But now those are actually configurable.

So instead of giving up, keep retrying with half of the requested size
unless we dip below the old static sizes -- then give up! In terms of
numbers that means we give up when it is certain that we at best would
end up allocating less than 16 send WR buffers or less than 48 recv WR
buffers. This is to avoid regressions due to having fewer buffers
compared the static values of the past.

Please note that SMC-R is supposed to be an optimisation over TCP, and
falling back to TCP is superior to establishing an SMC connection that
is going to perform worse. If the memory allocation fails (and we
propagate -ENOMEM), we fall back to TCP.

Preserve (modulo truncation) the ratio of send/recv WR buffer counts.
