[SCSI] libiscsi_tcp: fix max_r2t manipulation
Problem description from Xi Wang:
A large max_r2t could lead to integer overflow in subsequent call to
iscsi_tcp_r2tpool_alloc(), allocating a smaller buffer than expected
and leading to out-of-bounds write.

[SCSI] libiscsi_tcp: use kmap in xmit path
The xmit path can sleep with a page kmapped in the network
xmit code while it waits for space to open up, so we have to use
kmap instead of kmap atomic in that path.

kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.
The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.
I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:
- The API is to simple, important functions are missing
- A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
- There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
- There is no support for data records inside a fifo
So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much. The new API has the following benefits:
- Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
- Provide an API for the most use case.
- Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
- Linux style habit.
- DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
- Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
- The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
- Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
- Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
one is required.
- Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
- Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
field of 1 bytes.
- Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
field of 2 bytes.
- Fixed size records, which no record size field.
- Preserve memory resource.
- Performance!
- Easy to use!
This patch:
Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

[SCSI] iscsi_tcp: make padbuf non-static
virt_to_page() call should not be used on kernel text and data
addresses. virt_to_page() is used by sg_init_one(). So change padbuf
to be allocated within iscsi_segment.

[SCSI] libiscsi_tcp: support padding offload
cxgb3i does not offload the processing of the header,
but it will always process the padding. This patch
adds a padding offload flag to detect when the LLD
supports this.
The patch also modifies the header processing so that
we do not try to read/bypass the header dugest in the
skb. cxgb3i will not include it with the header like
with other offload cards.

[SCSI] iscsi_tcp: split module into lib and lld
As explained in the previous mails, cxgb3i needs iscsi_tcp's
r2t/data_out and data_in procesing so this just moves functions
that both drivers want to use to a new module libiscsi_tcp. The
next patch will hook iscsi_tcp in.
