rxrpc: Add service upgrade support for client connections
Make it possible for a client to use AuriStor's service upgrade facility.
The client does this by adding an RXRPC_UPGRADE_SERVICE control message to
the first sendmsg() of a call. This takes no parameters.
When recvmsg() starts returning data from the call, the service ID field in
the returned msg_name will reflect the result of the upgrade attempt. If
the upgrade was ignored, srx_service will match what was set in the
sendmsg(); if the upgrade happened the srx_service will be altered to
indicate the service the server upgraded to.
Note that:
(1) The choice of upgrade service is up to the server
(2) Further client calls to the same server that would share a connection
are blocked if an upgrade probe is in progress.
(3) This should only be used to probe the service. Clients should then
use the returned service ID in all subsequent communications with that
server (and not set the upgrade). Note that the kernel will not
retain this information should the connection expire from its cache.
(4) If a server that supports upgrading is replaced by one that doesn't,
whilst a connection is live, and if the replacement is running, say,
OpenAFS 1.6.4 or older or an older IBM AFS, then the replacement
server will not respond to packets sent to the upgraded connection.
At this point, calls will time out and the server must be reprobed.
