Partially revert "net/smc: Add netlink net namespace support"
The change of sizeof(struct smc_diag_linkinfo) by commit 79d39fc503b4 ("net/smc: Add netlink net namespace support") introduced an ABI regression: since struct smc_diag_lgrinfo contains an object of type "struct smc_diag_linkinfo", offset of all subsequent members of struct smc_diag_lgrinfo was changed by that change. As result, applications compiled with the old version of struct smc_diag_linkinfo will receive garbage in struct smc_diag_lgrinfo.role if the kernel implements this new version of struct smc_diag_linkinfo. Fix this regression by reverting the part of commit 79d39fc503b4 that changes struct smc_diag_linkinfo. After all, there is SMC_GEN_NETLINK interface which is good enough, so there is probably no need to touch the smc_diag ABI in the first place.
