I see the problem.  libell/ell/checksum.c doesn't clear the MSG_MORE
flag before doing the recv(2).

I was hoping nobody out there was doing this but obviously I've
been proven wrong.

So what I'm going to do is to specifically allow this case of
a string of sendmsg(2)'s with MSG_MORE folloed by a recvmsg(2)
in the same thread.  I'll add a WARN_ON_ONCE so user-space can
eventually be fixed.

Cheers,
