Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] SUNRPC: Send RPC message on TCP with a single sock_sendmsg() call

From: Chuck Lever <[email protected]>

There is now enough infrastructure in place to combine the stream
record marker into the biovec array used to send each outgoing RPC
message on TCP. The whole message can be more efficiently sent with
a single call to sock_sendmsg() using a bio_vec iterator.

Note that this also helps with RPC-with-TLS: the TLS implementation
can now clearly see where the upper layer message boundaries are.
Before, it would send each component of the xdr_buf (record marker,
head, page payload, tail) in separate TLS records.

Is this SMP-safe? page_frag_alloc() does no locking.

Note that svc_tcp_sendto() takes xprt->xpt_mutex. There can be only
one thread (per svsk) running in svc_tcp_sendmsg() at a time.
