[PATCH 1/5] libceph: use kernel_sendpage() for sending zeroes

[Alex Elder <elder@dreamhost.com>]

If a message queued for send gets revoked, zeroes are sent over the
wire instead of any unsent data.  This is done by constructing a
message and passing it to kernel_sendmsg() via ceph_tcp_sendmsg().

Since we are already working with a page in this case we can use
the sendpage interface instead.  Create a new ceph_tcp_sendpage()
helper that sets up flags to match the way ceph_tcp_sendmsg()
does now.
