Subject: [ 131/171] libceph: separate banner and connect writes

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alex Elder <elder@...tank.com>

(cherry picked from commit ab166d5aa3bc036fba7efaca6e4e43a7e9510acf)

There are two phases in the process of linking together the two ends
of a ceph connection.  The first involves exchanging a banner and
IP addresses, and if that is successful a second phase exchanges
some detail about each side's connection capabilities.

When initiating a connection, the client side now queues to send
its information for both phases of this process at the same time.
This is probably a bit more efficient, but it is slightly messier
from a layering perspective in the code.

So rearrange things so that the client doesn't send the connection
information until it has received and processed the response in the
initial banner phase (in process_banner()).

Move the code (in the (con->sock == NULL) case in try_write()) that
prepares for writing the connection information, delaying doing that
until the banner exchange has completed.  Move the code that begins
the transition to this second "NEGOTIATING" phase out of
process_banner() and into its caller, so preparing to write the
connection information and preparing to read the response are
adjacent to each other.

Finally, preparing to write the connection information now requires
the output kvec to be reset in all cases, so move that into the
prepare_write_connect() and delete it from all callers.
