This series contains the two reviewed patches from the previously posted
"net/smc: transition to RDMA core CQ pooling" series (v4), reposted as a
standalone series so they can land independently. The remaining CQ pooling
patch will be reposted separately after these two are merged.

Patch 1 fixes smc_wr_tx_put_slot() to clear the v2 pending slot and buffer
structures instead of the pointer variables, the memset targets were the
8-byte pointers themselves so the structures were never actually cleared.
Patch 2 reduces TX slot contention by switching TX slot allocation from
non-exclusive wait_event() to prepare_to_wait_exclusive(), avoiding
thundering-herd wakes when slots are scarce.
