Subject: [PATCH net-next v6 1/4] selftests: fix OOM problem in msg_zerocopy selftest

From: Zijian Zhang <zijianzhang@...edance.com>

In selftests/net/msg_zerocopy.c, it has a while loop keeps calling sendmsg
on a socket with MSG_ZEROCOPY flag, and it will recv the notifications
until the socket is not writable. Typically, it will start the receiving
process after around 30+ sendmsgs. However, because of the
commit dfa2f0483360 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale")
the sender is always writable and does not get any chance to run recv
notifications. The selftest always exits with OUT_OF_MEMORY because the
memory used by opt_skb exceeds the core.sysctl_optmem_max.

According to our experiments, this problem can be mitigated by open the
DEBUG_LOCKDEP configuration for the kernel. But it will makes the
notifications disordered even in good commits before
commit dfa2f0483360 ("tcp: get rid of sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale").

We introduce "cfg_notification_limit" to force sender to receive
notifications after some number of sendmsgs. And, notifications may not
come in order, because of the reason we present above. We have order
checking code managed by cfg_verbose.
