BUG/MINOR: stream-int: avoid calling rcv_buf() when splicing is still possible
In si_cs_recv(), we can end up with a partial splice() call that will be
followed by an attempt to us rcv_buf(). Sometimes this works and places
data into the buffer, which then prevent splicing from being used, and
this causes splice() and recvfrom() calls to alternate. Better simply
refrain from calling rcv_buf() when there are data in the pipe and still
data to be forwarded. Usually this indicates that we've ate everything
available and that we still want to use splice() on subsequent calls.
This should be backported to 2.1 and 2.0.
