[RFC PATCH 2/3] msg: move struct msg_msgseg and DATALEN_* to include/linux/msg.h

[Shaurya Rane <ssrane_b23@ee.vjti.ac.in>]

struct msg_msgseg and the DATALEN_MSG / DATALEN_SEG macros are
currently private to ipc/msgutil.c.  struct msg_msg (already in the
public kernel header include/linux/msg.h) carries a pointer to
msg_msgseg, making it an incomplete type for all callers outside
msgutil.c.

Move the definition of struct msg_msgseg and the two DATALEN macros to
include/linux/msg.h so that other IPC code can safely copy
multi-segment message payloads into a kernel buffer under a spinlock,
without calling store_msg() which performs copy_to_user() and therefore
cannot be used under a spinlock.

ipc/msgutil.c already includes <linux/msg.h>, so it picks up the
definitions from the header with no functional change.
