bce9045993 docs: net: fix inaccuracies in msg_zerocopy.rst
Replace "sendpage" with "sendfile". Remove comment about
ENOBUFS when the sockopt hasn't been set; experimentation
indicates that this is not true.

a9d85efb25 docs: use the lore redirector everywhere
Change all links from using the lkml redirector to the lore redirector,
as the kernel.org admin recently indicated: we shouldn't be using
lkml.kernel.org anymore because the domain can create confusion, as it
indicates it is only valid for messages sent to the LKML; the convention
has been to use https://lore.kernel.org/r/msgid for this reason.

In this process also change three links from using http to https.

ced68234b6 sock: remove zerocopy sockopt restriction on closed tcp state
Socket option SO_ZEROCOPY determines whether the kernel ignores or
processes flag MSG_ZEROCOPY on subsequent send calls. This to avoid
changing behavior for legacy processes.

Limiting the state change to closed sockets is annoying with passive
sockets and not necessary for correctness. Once created, zerocopy skbs
are processed based on their private state, not this socket flag.

Remove the constraint.

cc8889ae82 doc: document MSG_ZEROCOPY
Documentation for this feature was missing from the patchset.
Copied a lot from the netdev 2.1 paper, addressing some small
interface changes since then.

Changes
  v1 -> v2
    - change email discussion URL format
    - clarify that u32 counter is per-syscall, unsigned and
      wraps after UINT_MAX calls
    - describe errno on send failure specific to MSG_ZEROCOPY
    - a few very minor rewordings
