net/smc: bpf: Introduce generic hook for handshake flow

The introduction of IPPROTO_SMC enables eBPF programs to determine
whether to use SMC based on the context of socket creation, such as
network namespaces, PID and comm name, etc.

As a subsequent enhancement, to introduce a new generic hook that
allows decisions on whether to use SMC or not at runtime, including
but not limited to local/remote IP address or ports.

User can write their own implememtion via bpf_struct_ops now to choose
whether to use SMC or not before TCP 3rd handshake to be comleted.
