Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 1/3] tcp: Make use of MSG_EOR in tcp_sendmsg

This patch adds an eor bit to the TCP_SKB_CB.  When MSG_EOR
is passed to tcp_sendmsg, the eor bit will be set at the skb
containing the last byte of the userland's msg.  The eor bit
will prevent data from appending to that skb in the future.

The change in do_tcp_sendpages is to honor the eor set
during the previous tcp_sendmsg(MSG_EOR) call.

This patch handles the tcp_sendmsg case.  The followup patches
will handle other skb coalescing and fragment cases.

One potential use case is to use MSG_EOR with
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK to get a more accurate
TCP ack timestamping on application protocol with
multiple outgoing response messages (e.g. HTTP2).

Packetdrill script for testing:
