Arjun Roy 18fb76ed53 net-zerocopy: Copy straggler unaligned data for TCP Rx. zerocopy.
When TCP receive zerocopy does not successfully map the entire
requested space, it outputs a 'hint' that the caller should recvmsg().

Augment zerocopy to accept a user buffer that it tries to copy this
hint into - if it is possible to copy the entire hint, it will do so.
This elides a recvmsg() call for received traffic that isn't exactly
page-aligned in size.

This was tested with RPC-style traffic of arbitrary sizes. Normally,
each received message required at least one getsockopt() call, and one
recvmsg() call for the remaining unaligned data.

With this change, almost all of the recvmsg() calls are eliminated,
leading to a savings of about 25%-50% in number of system calls
for RPC-style workloads.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
