This leverages the previous commit to reserve the wmem required for the sendmsg() operation when the msk socket lock is first acquired. Some heuristics are used to get a reasonable [over] estimation of the whole memory required. If we can't forward alloc such amount fallback to a reasonable small chunk, otherwise enter the wait for memory path. When sendmsg() needs more memory it looks at wmem_reserved first and if that is exhausted, move more space from sk_forward_alloc. The reserved memory is not persistent and is released at the next socket unlock via the release_cb(). Overall this will simplify the next patch.

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.
