Splicing to SOCK_RAW sockets may set MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, but in such a case,
__ip_append_data() will call skb_splice_from_iter() to access the 'from'
data, assuming it to point to a msghdr struct with an iter, instead of
using the provided getfrag function to access it.
In the case of raw_sendmsg(), however, this is not the case and 'from' will
point to a raw_frag_vec struct and raw_getfrag() will be the frag-getting
function. A similar issue may occur with rawv6_sendmsg().
Fix this by ignoring MSG_SPLICE_PAGES if getfrag != ip_generic_getfrag as
ip_generic_getfrag() expects "from" to be a msghdr*, but the other getfrags
don't. Note that this will prevent MSG_SPLICE_PAGES from being effective
for udplite.
This likely affects ping sockets too. udplite looks like it should be okay
as it expects "from" to be a msghdr.

Willem, looks good?

Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Disabling splicing if not ip_generic_getfrag sounds great to me.
