This reverts commit d7cd421da9.
As reported by Al Viro, the TCP ULP support for SMC is fundamentally
broken. The implementation attempts to convert an active TCP socket
into an SMC socket by modifying the underlying `struct file`, dentry,
and inode in-place, which violates core VFS invariants that assume
these structures are immutable for an open file, creating a risk of
use after free errors and general system instability.
Given the severity of this design flaw and the fact that cleaner
alternatives (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, BPF) exist for legacy application
transparency, the correct course of action is to remove this feature
entirely.
