net/smc: disable SEID on non-s390 archs where virtual ISM may be used
The system EID (SEID) is an internal EID used by SMC-D to represent the
s390 physical machine that OS is executing on. On s390 architecture, it
predefined by fixed string and part of cpuid and is enabled regardless
of whether underlay device is virtual ISM or platform firmware ISM.
However on non-s390 architectures where SMC-D can be used with virtual
ISM devices, there is no similar information to identify physical
machines, especially in virtualization scenarios. So in such cases, SEID
is forcibly disabled and the user-defined UEID will be used to represent
the communicable space.
