    tcp: fix MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST logic · ae62ca7b

    commit 35f9c09f
    
     (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
    added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all
    frags but the last one for a splice() call.
    
    The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on
    splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe,
    or a smaller one.
    
    But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails.
    
    The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a
    splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP
    sessions.
    
    We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment
    is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1)
    
    Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection
    and test programs.
