net/smc: Add diagnostic information to link structure
During link creation add net-device ifindex and ib-device name to link structure. This is needed for diagnostic purposes. When diagnostic information is gathered, we need to traverse device, linkgroup and link structures, to be able to do that we need to hold a spinlock for the linkgroup list, without this diagnostic information in link structure, another device list mutex holding would be necessary to dereference the device pointer in the link structure which would be impossible when holding a spinlock already.
