[PATCH v5] sunrpc: allocate a separate bvec array for socket sends

[Jeff Layton]

svc_tcp_sendmsg() calls xdr_buf_to_bvec() with the second slot of
rq_bvec as the start, but doesn't reduce the array length by one, which
could lead to an array overrun. Also, rq_bvec is always rq_maxpages in
length, which can be too short in some cases, since the TCP record
marker consumes a slot.

Fix both problems by adding a separate bvec array to the svc_sock that
is specifically for sending. Allocate it when doing the first send on
the socket, to avoid allocating the array for listener sockets.

For TCP, make this array one slot longer than rq_maxpages, to account
for the record marker. For UDP only allocate as large an array as we
need since frames are limited to 64k anyway.

Minor update to the last patch to reduce the size of the array on UDP
sockets since that transport doesn't need rq_maxpages.

Changes in v5:
- reduce the size of sk_bvec on UDP sockets
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251010-rq_bvec-v4-1-627567f1ce91@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v4:
- switch to allocating a separate bvec for sends in the svc_sock
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251009-rq_bvec-v3-0-57181360b9cb@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Add rq_bvec_len field and use it in appropriate places
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251008-rq_bvec-v2-0-823c0a85a27c@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Better changelog message for patch #2
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251008-rq_bvec-v1-0-7f23d32d75e5@xxxxxxxxxx
