[PATCH net-next v4 05/15] 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.

To make this work, the data is assembled in a bio_vec array and attached to
a BVEC-type iterator.

Notes:

     - Reduce change to only call sendmsg on a page at a time.
