If the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag is specified with rds_sendmsg(), and,
if the SO_ZEROCOPY socket option has been set on the PF_RDS socket,
application pages sent down with rds_sendmsg() are pinned.
The pinning uses the accounting infrastructure added by
Commit a91dbff551 ("sock: ulimit on MSG_ZEROCOPY pages")
The payload bytes in the message may not be modified for the
duration that the message has been pinned. A multi-threaded
application using this infrastructure may thus need to be notified
about send-completion so that it can free/reuse the buffers
passed to rds_sendmsg(). Notification of send-completion will
identify each message-buffer by a cookie that the application
must specify as ancillary data to rds_sendmsg().
The ancillary data in this case has cmsg_level == SOL_RDS
and cmsg_type == RDS_CMSG_ZCOPY_COOKIE.
