When an alernate RNIC is available in system, SMC will try to add a new
link based on the RNIC for resilience. All the RMBs in use will be mapped
to the new link. Then the RMBs' MRs corresponding to the new link will be
filled into SMCRv2 LLC ADD LINK messages.

However, smc_llc_fill_ext_v2() mistakenly accesses to unused RMBs which
haven't been mapped to the new link and have no valid MRs, thus causing
a crash. So this patch fixes the logic.

I'm wondering if this crash is introduced by the first fix patch you wrote.
