Note: This patch is currently not upstream. It will be part of the full SMC-D 
v2 implementation (see LP1853291), and was successfully tested with a reference 
implementation. However, we still have some way to go with our SMC-D v2 code, 
yet other providers of SMC-D v2 implementations asked us to ship this 
toleration patch early, so that users have a chance to have their systems up to 
date by the time they deliver their versions.

Bug description:
  Description:   smc: SMC connections hang with later-level implementations
  Symptom:       Connections from later-level SMC versions to an SMC-enabled
                 server on Linux hang.
  Problem:       Later-level versions of SMC present, although backwards-
                 compatible, a higher version number, and use larger messages
                 during the CLC handshake.
  Solution:      Adjust for tolerating later version numbers, and support CLC
                 messages of arbitrary length.
  Reproduction:  Enable a server on Linux for SMC, and connect using a later-
                 level version of SMC

  Applicable for: Ubuntu 20.04
