splice, net: Fix SPLICE_F_MORE signalling in splice_direct_to_actor()
splice_direct_to_actor() doesn't manage SPLICE_F_MORE correctly[1] - and, as a result, it incorrectly signals/fails to signal MSG_MORE when splicing to a socket. The problem I'm seeing happens when a short splice occurs because we got a short read due to hitting the EOF on a file: as the length read (read_len) is less than the remaining size to be spliced (len), SPLICE_F_MORE (and thus MSG_MORE) is set. The issue is that, for the moment, we have no way to know *why* the short read occurred and so can't make a good decision on whether we *should* keep MSG_MORE set. MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST was added to work around this, but that is also set incorrectly under some circumstances - for example if a short read fills a single pipe_buffer, but the next read would return more (seqfile can do this). This was observed with the multi_chunk_sendfile tests in the tls kselftest program. Some of those tests would hang and time out when the last chunk of file was less than the sendfile request size: build/kselftest/net/tls -r tls.12_aes_gcm.multi_chunk_sendfile This has been observed before[2] and worked around in AF_TLS[3]. Fix this by making splice_direct_to_actor() always signal SPLICE_F_MORE if we haven't yet hit the requested operation size. SPLICE_F_MORE remains signalled if the user passed it in to splice() but otherwise gets cleared when we've read sufficient data to fulfill the request. If, however, we get a premature EOF from ->splice_read(), have sent at least one byte and SPLICE_F_MORE was not set by the caller, ->splice_eof() will be invoked.
