Fix the error handling in rxrpc_send_data() so that it doesn't return an
error if it has successfully queued the last packet of a call, but the call
has seen to have completed after it did that. Rather, leave it to
recvmsg() to report the completion (which it will do anyway).
The problem with trying to report the error twice is that the caller may
try to clean up the dead call twice.
Further, if we haven't queued the final packet yet, return -ESHUTDOWN if
the call is now marked complete (e.g. it got aborted by the peer) as
there's no point sendmsg() continuing to try to add data to a call if it is
defunct. The application should abort the call and then call recvmsg() to
pick up the reason.
Fixes: 4ba68c519255 ("rxrpc: Return an error to sendmsg if call failed")
