Patch looks good to me, but one more thing to think about:

Would it be better to invoke __smc_lgr_terminate() instead of smc_lgr_schedule_free_work()
when a link group was created but cannot be used now? This would immediately free up all
allocated resources for this unusable link group instead of starting the default 10-minute
timer until the link group is freed.
__smc_lgr_terminate() takes care of completely removing the link group in the context of
its caller. It is also used from within smc_lgr_cleanup_early() that is used when the very
first connection of a link group is aborted.
