    net/smc: Remove validation of reserved bits in CLC Decline message

    Currently SMC code is validating the reserved bits while parsing the incoming
    CLC decline message & when this validation fails, its treated as a protocol
    error. As a result, the SMC connection is terminated instead of falling back to
    TCP. As per RFC7609[1] specs we shouldn't be validating the reserved bits that
    is part of CLC message. This patch fixes this issue.

    CLC Decline message format can viewed here[2].
