net: Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal sendmsg() flag

Browse source

[ Upstream commit b841b901c4 ]

Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, an internal sendmsg() flag, that hints to a
network protocol that it should splice pages from the source iterator
rather than copying the data if it can.  This flag is added to a list that
is cleared by sendmsg syscalls on entry.

This is intended as a replacement for the ->sendpage() op, allowing a way
to splice in several multipage folios in one go.
