libceph: fix ceph_msg_revoke()
There are a number of problems with revoking a "was sending" message: (1) We never make any attempt to revoke data - only kvecs contibute to con->out_skip. However, once the header (envelope) is written to the socket, our peer learns data_len and sets itself to expect at least data_len bytes to follow front or front+middle. If ceph_msg_revoke() is called while the messenger is sending message's data portion, anything we send after that call is counted by the OSD towards the now revoked message's data portion. The effects vary, the most common one is the eventual hang - higher layers get stuck waiting for the reply to the message that was sent out after ceph_msg_revoke() returned and treated by the OSD as a bunch of data bytes. This is what Matt ran into. (2) Flat out zeroing con->out_kvec_bytes worth of bytes to handle kvecs is wrong. If ceph_msg_revoke() is called before the tag is sent out or while the messenger is sending the header, we will get a connection reset,...
