Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix lacks of icsk_syn_mss with IPPROTO_SMC
Eric report a panic on IPPROTO_SMC, and give the facts
that when INET_PROTOSW_ICSK was set, icsk->icsk_sync_mss must be set too.
Bug: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address

This patch add a toy implementation that performs a simple return to
prevent such panic. This is because MSS can be set in sock_create_kern
or smc_setsockopt, similar to how it's done in AF_SMC. However, for
AF_SMC, there is currently no way to synchronize MSS within
__sys_connect_file. This toy implementation lays the groundwork for us
to support such feature for IPPROTO_SMC in the future.
