net-zerocopy: Copy straggler unaligned data for TCP Rx. zerocopy.
When TCP receive zerocopy does not successfully map the entire requested space, it outputs a 'hint' that the caller should recvmsg(). Augment zerocopy to accept a user buffer that it tries to copy this hint into - if it is possible to copy the entire hint, it will do so. This elides a recvmsg() call for received traffic that isn't exactly page-aligned in size. This was tested with RPC-style traffic of arbitrary sizes. Normally, each received message required at least one getsockopt() call, and one recvmsg() call for the remaining unaligned data. With this change, almost all of the recvmsg() calls are eliminated, leading to a savings of about 25%-50% in number of system calls for RPC-style workloads.
