[ Upstream commit 00af2aa93b76b1bade471ad0d0525d4d29ca5cc0 ]
Many syzbot reports show extreme rtnl pressure, and many of them hint that smc acquires rtnl in netns creation for no good reason [1]
This patch returns early from smc_pnet_net_init() if there is no netdevice yet.
I am not even sure why smc_pnet_create_pnetids_list() even exists, because smc_pnet_netdev_event() is also calling smc_pnet_add_base_pnetid() when handling NETDEV_UP event.
