Fix the fact that a notification isn't sent to the recvmsg side to indicate
a call failed when sendmsg() fails to transmit a DATA packet with the error
ENETUNREACH, EHOSTUNREACH or ECONNREFUSED.
Without this notification, the afs client just sits there waiting for the
call to complete in some manner (which it's not now going to do), which
also pins the rxrpc call in place.
This can be seen if the client has a scope-level IPv6 address, but not a
global-level IPv6 address, and we try and transmit an operation to a
server's IPv6 address.
Looking in /proc/net/rxrpc/calls shows completed calls just sat there with
an abort code of RX_USER_ABORT and an error code of -ENETUNREACH.

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.
