shamir rabinovitch c75ab8a55a net/rds: remove user triggered WARN_ON in rds_sendmsg
per comment from Leon in rdma mailing list
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/31/312 :

Please don't forget to remove user triggered WARN_ON.
https://lwn.net/Articles/769365/
"Greg Kroah-Hartman raised the problem of core kernel API code that will
use WARN_ON_ONCE() to complain about bad usage; that will not generate
the desired result if WARN_ON_ONCE() is configured to crash the machine.
He was told that the code should just call pr_warn() instead, and that
the called function should return an error in such situations. It was
generally agreed that any WARN_ON() or WARN_ON_ONCE() calls that can be
triggered from user space need to be fixed."

in addition harden rds_sendmsg to detect and overcome issues with
invalid sg count and fail the sendmsg.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
