[PATCH v2 05/11] kcm: kcm_splice_read: always request MSG_DONTWAIT

From: Ahelenia Ziemiańska

Otherwise we risk sleeping with the pipe locked for indeterminate
lengths of time ‒ given:
cat > kcm.c <<^D
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <linux/kcm.h>
int main()
{
int kcm = socket(AF_KCM, SOCK_SEQPACKET, KCMPROTO_CONNECTED);
for (;;)
splice(kcm, 0, 1, 0, 128 * 1024 * 1024, 0);
}
^D
cc kcm.c -o kcm
mkfifo fifo
./kcm > fifo &
read -r _ < fifo &
sleep 0.1
echo zupa > fifo
kcm used to sleep in splice and the shell used to enter an
uninterruptible sleep in open("fifo");
now the splice returns -EAGAIN and the whole program completes.

Also: don't pass the SPLICE_F_*-style flags argument to
skb_recv_datagram(), which expects MSG_*-style flags.
This fixes SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK not having worked.
