Commit 35f9c09fe (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST.
We have to ensure that MSG_MORE is also set if we set MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST.
Otherwise users that check against MSG_MORE will not see it.

This fixes sendfile() on AF_ALG.

I do not think this patch is right. It looks like a revert of a useful
patch for TCP zero copy. Given the time it took to discover this
regression, I bet tcp zero copy has more users than AF_ALG, by 5 or 6
order of magnitude ;)

Here we want to make the difference between the two flags, not merge
them.

If AF_ALG do not care of the difference, try instead :

From my testing this works.
