[PATCH 1/3] skbuff: Avoid sleeping in skb_send_sock_locked

[Herbert Xu]

For a function that needs to be called with the socket spinlock
held, sleeping would seem to be a bad idea.  This function does
in fact avoid sleeping when calling kernel_sendpage_locked on the
page part of the skb.  However, it doesn't do that when sending
the linear part.  Resulting in sleeping when the socket send buffer
is full.

This patch fixes it by setting the MSG_DONTWAIT flag when calling
kernel_sendmsg_locked.
