A crash was found when dumping SMC-R connections. It can be reproduced
by following steps:

- environment: two RNICs on both sides.
- run SMC-R between two sides, now a SMC_LGR_SYMMETRIC type link group
will be created.
- set the first RNIC down on either side and link group will turn to
SMC_LGR_ASYMMETRIC_LOCAL then.
- run 'smcss -R' and the crash will be triggered.

When the first RNIC is set down, the lgr->lnk[0] will be cleared and an
asymmetric link will be allocated in lgr->link[SMC_LINKS_PER_LGR_MAX - 1]
by smc_llc_alloc_alt_link(). Then when we try to dump SMC-R connections
in __smc_diag_dump(), the invalid lgr->lnk[0] will be accessed, resulting
in this issue. So fix it by accessing the right link.
