[PATCH net-next 08/17] rds: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than sendpage

[David Howells]

When transmitting data, call down into TCP using a single sendmsg with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to indicate that content should be spliced rather than
performing several sendmsg and sendpage calls to transmit header and data
pages.

To make this work, the data is assembled in a bio_vec array and attached to
a BVEC-type iterator.  The header are copied into memory acquired from
zcopy_alloc() which just breaks a page up into small pieces that can be
freed with put_page().
