Augment dmabuf binding to be able to handle TX. Additional to all the RX
binding, we also create tx_vec needed for the TX path.

Provide API for sendmsg to be able to send dmabufs bound to this device:

- Provide a new dmabuf_tx_cmsg which includes the dmabuf to send from.
- MSG_ZEROCOPY with SCM_DEVMEM_DMABUF cmsg indicates send from dma-buf.

Devmem is uncopyable, so piggyback off the existing MSG_ZEROCOPY
implementation, while disabling instances where MSG_ZEROCOPY falls back
to copying.

We additionally pipe the binding down to the new
zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem which fills a TX skb with net_iov netmems
instead of the traditional page netmems.

We also special case skb_frag_dma_map to return the dma-address of these
dmabuf net_iovs instead of attempting to map pages.

Based on work by Stanislav Fomichev [off-list ref]. A lot of the meat
of the implementation came from devmem TCP RFC v1[1], which included the
TX path, but Stan did all the rebasing on top of netmem/net_iov.

Hi Mina,

It appears that the line above is unreachable.
I guess it was part of an unwind that is no-longer needed
and thus can now be removed.

Flagged by Smatch.
