Subject: [PATCH 4/4] tipc: Fix bugs in sending of large amounts of byte-stream data

From: Allan Stephens <Allan.Stephens@...driver.com>

Enhances the routine that sends data for SOCK_STREAM sockets to
fix the following issues:

- Uses "size_t" to specify the size and number of iovec array entries
  to avoid the risk of accidentally truncating data.
- No longer uses comparisons that mix signed and unsigned size values.
- Adds check to terminate sending early if continuation would require
  returning a value too large to fit in an "int".
