scsi: libiscsi: fall back to sendmsg for slab pages
In "XFS over network block device" scenario XFS can create IO requests with
slab-based XFS metadata. During processing such requests tcp_sendpage() can
merge skb fragments with neighbour slab objects.
If receiving side is located on the same host tcp_recvmsg() can trigger
BUG_ON in hardening check and crash the host with following message:
usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected
from XXXXXXXX (kmalloc-512) (1024 bytes)
This patch redirect such requests from sednpage to sendmsg path. The
problem is similar to one described in recent commit 7e241f647dc7
("libceph: fall back to sendmsg for slab pages")
