smc_pnet_fill_entry() uses dev_get_by_name() adding a refcount to ndev.
The following smc_pnet_enter() has to reduce the refcount if the entry
to be added exists already in the pnet table.

SMC requires an active ib port on the RoCE device.
smc_pnet_find_roce_resource() determines the matching RoCE device port
according to the configured PNET table. Do not return the found
RoCE device port, if it is not flagged active.

The global event handler is created only, if the ib_device has already
been used by at least one link group. It is guaranteed that there exists
the corresponding entry in the smc_ib_devices list. Get rid of this
superfluous check.

Connection creation with SMC-R starts through an internal
TCP-connection. The Ethernet interface for this TCP-connection is not
restricted to the Ethernet interface of a RoCE device. Any existing
Ethernet interface belonging to the same physical net can be used, as
long as there is a defined relation between the Ethernet interface and
some RoCE devices. This relation is defined with the help of an
identification string called "Physical Net ID" or short "pnet ID".
Information about defined pnet IDs and their related Ethernet
interfaces and RoCE devices is stored in the SMC-R pnet table.
A pnet table entry consists of the identifying pnet ID and the
associated network and IB device.
This patch adds pnet table configuration support using the
generic netlink message interface referring to network and IB device
by their names. Commands exist to add, delete, and display pnet table
entries, and to flush or display the entire pnet table.
There are cross-checks to verify whether the ethernet interfaces
or infiniband devices really exist in the system. If either device
is not available, the pnet ID entry is not created.
Loss of network devices and IB devices is also monitored;
a pnet ID entry is removed when an associated network or
IB device is removed.
