Fix the interruptibility of kernel-initiated client calls so that they're
either only interruptible when they're waiting for a call slot to come
available or they're not interruptible at all. Either way, they're not
interruptible during transmission.
This should help prevent StoreData calls from being interrupted when
writeback is in progress. It doesn't, however, handle interruption during
the receive phase.
Userspace-initiated calls are still interruptable. After the signal has
been handled, sendmsg() will return the amount of data copied out of the
buffer and userspace can perform another sendmsg() call to continue
transmission.
Fixes: bc5e3a546d55 ("rxrpc: Use MSG_WAITALL to tell sendmsg() to temporarily ignore signals")

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.
