Virtualization - Dec 2021 - [PATCH] hv_sock: Extract hvs_send_data() helper that takes only header

When building under -Warray-bounds, the compiler is especially
conservative when faced with casts from a smaller object to a larger
object. While this has found many real bugs, there are some cases that
are currently false positives (like here). With this as one of the last
few instances of the warning in the kernel before -Warray-bounds can be
enabled globally, rearrange the functions so that there is a header-only
version of hvs_send_data(). Silences this warning:

net/vmw_vsock/hyperv_transport.c: In function
'hvs_shutdown_lock_held.constprop':
net/vmw_vsock/hyperv_transport.c:231:32: warning: array subscript 'struct
hvs_send_buf[0]' is partly outside array bounds of 'struct
vmpipe_proto_header[1]' [-Warray-bounds]
  231 |         send_buf->hdr.pkt_type = 1;
      |         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~
net/vmw_vsock/hyperv_transport.c:465:36: note: while referencing 'hdr'
  465 |         struct vmpipe_proto_header hdr;
      |                                    ^~~

This change results in no executable instruction differences.
