smc_rx_recvmsg() offers a chunk of the RMB to splice_to_pipe() and then
credits the whole chunk regardless of what was taken.

splice_to_pipe() takes only what the pipe has room for. A short count and
a zero count are both non-negative, so both fall through as success: the
call returns more than it delivered, and the consumer cursor and
bytes_to_rcv are advanced by copylen rather than by what the reader
received. The skipped bytes are never handed to anyone.

A pipe that is not empty is enough to hit this; SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK on a
full pipe produces the zero case.

Account what splice_to_pipe() actually took, and stop there rather than
continuing to the second chunk of a wrapped read. When it took nothing,
return -EAGAIN instead of reporting a length that was not delivered.
