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
