According to the documentation in msg_zerocopy.rst, the SO_ZEROCOPY
flag was introduced because send(2) ignores unknown message flags and
any legacy application which was accidentally passing the equivalent of
MSG_ZEROCOPY earlier should not see any new behaviour.
Before commit
f214f915e7db ("tcp: enable MSG_ZEROCOPY"), a send(2) call
which passed the equivalent of MSG_ZEROCOPY without setting SO_ZEROCOPY
would succeed. However, after that commit, it fails with -ENOBUFS. So
it appears that the SO_ZEROCOPY flag fails to fulfill its intended
purpose. Fix it.
