To be honest, I was a bit conflicted which branch should this go for.
But after checking the code before e49300a6bf62 ("net/smc: add listen
processing for SMC-Rv2"), I discovered the previous behavior was to return
SMC_CLC_DECL_DIFFPREFIX. Therefor, I have decided it should be
considered a fix.

I should have memtioned this in the commit message.
