Add two new network helpers. connect_fd_to_fd connects an already created client socket fd to address of server fd. Sometimes it's useful to separate client socket creation and connecting this socket to a server, e.g. if client socket has to be created in a cgroup different from that of server cgroup. Additionally connect_to_fd is now implemented using connect_fd_to_fd, both helpers don't treat EINPROGRESS as an error and let caller decide how to proceed with it. connect_wait is a helper to work with non-blocking client sockets so that if connect_to_fd or connect_fd_to_fd returned -1 with errno == EINPROGRESS, caller can wait for connect to finish or for connection timeout. The helper returns -1 on error, 0 on timeout (1sec, hard-coded), and positive number on success.

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.
