Replace generic_splice_sendpage() + splice_from_pipe + pipe_to_sendpage()
with a net-specific handler, splice_to_socket(), that calls sendmsg() with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES set instead of calling ->sendpage().
MSG_MORE is used to indicate if the sendmsg() is expected to be followed
with more data.
This allows multiple pipe-buffer pages to be passed in a single call in a
BVEC iterator, allowing the processing to be pushed down to a loop in the
protocol driver. This helps pave the way for passing multipage folios down
too.
Protocols that haven't been converted to handle MSG_SPLICE_PAGES yet should
just ignore it and do a normal sendmsg() for now - although that may be a
bit slower as it may copy everything.
