Add support for a new sparse_read ceph_connection operation. The idea is that the client driver can define this operation use it to do special handling for incoming reads. The alloc_msg routine will look at the request and determine whether the reply is expected to be sparse. If it is, then we'll dispatch to a different set of state machine states that will repeatedly call the driver's sparse_read op to get length and placement info for reading the extent map, and the extents themselves. This necessitates adding some new field to some other structs: - The msg gets a new bool to track whether it's a sparse_read request. - A new field is added to the cursor to track the amount remaining in the current extent. This is used to cap the read from the socket into the msg_data - Handing a revoke with all of this is particularly difficult, so I've added a new data_len_remain field to the v2 connection info, and then use that to skip that much on a revoke. We may want to expand the use of that to the normal read path as well, just for consistency's sake.

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.
