Mahanta Jambigi 7f8869586d net/smc: Remove validation of reserved bits in CLC Decline message
[ Upstream commit cc282f73bc0cbdf3ee7af2f2d3a2ef4e6b19242d ]

Currently SMC code is validating the reserved bits while parsing the incoming
CLC decline message & when this validation fails, its treated as a protocol
error. As a result, the SMC connection is terminated instead of falling back to
TCP. As per RFC7609[1] specs we shouldn't be validating the reserved bits that
is part of CLC message. This patch fixes this issue.

CLC Decline message format can viewed here[2].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
