From: Hans Wippel <hwippel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> If SMC client and server connections are both established at the same time, smc_connect_ism() cannot send a CLC confirm message while smc_listen_work() is waiting for one due to lock contention. This can result in timeouts in smc_clc_wait_msg() and failed SMC connections. In case of SMC-D, the LGR pending lock is not needed while smc_listen_work() is waiting for the CLC confirm message. So, this patch releases the lock earlier for SMC-D to avoid the locking issue.
