[PATCH net-next 06/17] net: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) not sendpage in skb_send_sock()

[David Howells]

Use sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES rather than sendpage in
skb_send_sock().  This causes pages to be spliced from the source iterator
if possible.

This allows ->sendpage() to be replaced by something that can handle
multiple multipage folios in a single transaction.

Note that this could perhaps be improved to fill out a bvec array with all
the frags and then make a single sendmsg call, possibly sticking the header
on the front also.
