net/smc: Reset conn->lgr when link group registration fails

SMC connections might fail to be registered in a link group due to
unable to find a usable link during its creation. As a result,
smc_conn_create() will return a failure and most resources related
to the connection won't be applied or initialized, such as
conn->abort_work or conn->lnk.

If smc_conn_free() is invoked later, it will try to access the
uninitialized resources related to the connection, thus causing
a warning or crash.

This patch tries to fix this by resetting conn->lgr to NULL if an
abnormal exit occurs in smc_lgr_register_conn(), thus avoiding the
access to uninitialized resources in smc_conn_free().

Meanwhile, the new created link group should be terminated if smc
connections can't be registered in it. So smc_lgr_cleanup_early() is
modified to take care of link group only and invoked to terminate
unusable link group by smc_conn_create(). The call to smc_conn_free()
is moved out from smc_lgr_cleanup_early() to smc_conn_abort().
