[RFC net-next io_uring 07/11] net/tcp: optimise tcp ubuf refcounting

[Pavel Begunkov]

Add UARGFL_CALLER_PINNED letting protocols know that the caller holds a
reference to the ubuf_info and so it doesn't need additional refcounting
for purposes of keeping it alive. With that TCP can save a refcount
put/get pair per send when used with ->msg_ubuf.
