Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:
skb_queue_tail(&sk->s_receive_queue, skb);
sk->sk_data_ready(sk, skb->len);
But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up. So this skb->len access is potentially
to freed up memory.
Furthermore, the skb->len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.
And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument. And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.
So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.
Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

The RDS protocol has lots of functions that should be
declared static. rds_message_get/add_version_extension is
removed since it defined but never used.

We now ask the transport to give us a rm for the congestion
map, and then we handle it normally. Previously, the
transport defined a function that we would call to send
a congestion map.
Convert TCP and loop transports to new cong map method.

This code allows RDS to be tunneled over a TCP connection.
RDMA operations are disabled when using TCP transport,
but this frees RDS from the IB/RDMA stack dependency, and allows
it to be used with standard Ethernet adapters, or in a VM.
