[PATCH v2 11/16] smb: client: let smbd_post_send_iter() respect the peers max_send_size and transmit all data

From: Stefan Metzmacher <metze at samba.org>

We should not send smbdirect_data_transfer messages larger than
the negotiated max_send_size, typically 1364 bytes, which means
24 bytes of the smbdirect_data_transfer header + 1340 payload bytes.

This happened when doing an SMB2 write with more than 1340 bytes
(which is done inline as it's below rdma_readwrite_threshold).

It means the peer resets the connection.

When testing between cifs.ko and ksmbd.ko something like this
is logged:

client:

    CIFS: VFS: RDMA transport re-established
    siw: got TERMINATE. layer 1, type 2, code 2
    siw: got TERMINATE. layer 1, type 2, code 2

    siw: got TERMINATE. layer 1, type 2, code 2
    siw: got TERMINATE. layer 1, type 2, code 2
    CIFS: VFS: \\carina Send error in SessSetup = -11
    smb2_reconnect: 12 callbacks suppressed
    CIFS: VFS: reconnect tcon failed rc = -11
    CIFS: VFS: reconnect tcon failed rc = -11
    CIFS: VFS: reconnect tcon failed rc = -11
    CIFS: VFS: SMB: Zero rsize calculated, using minimum value 65536

and:

    CIFS: VFS: RDMA transport re-established
    siw: got TERMINATE. layer 1, type 2, code 2
    CIFS: VFS: smbd_recv:1894 disconnected
    siw: got TERMINATE. layer 1, type 2, code 2

The ksmbd dmesg is showing things like:

    smb_direct: Recv error. status='local length error (1)' opcode=128
    smb_direct: disconnected
    smb_direct: Recv error. status='local length error (1)' opcode=128
    ksmbd: smb_direct: disconnected
    ksmbd: sock_read failed: -107

As smbd_post_send_iter() limits the transmitted number of bytes
we need loop over it in order to transmit the whole iter.
