[patch added to 3.12-stable] libceph: don't bail early from try_read() when skipping a message

From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit e7a88e82fe380459b864e05b372638aeacb0f52d upstream.

The contract between try_read() and try_write() is that when called
each processes as much data as possible.  When instructed by osd_client
to skip a message, try_read() is violating this contract by returning
after receiving and discarding a single message instead of checking for
more.  try_write() then gets a chance to write out more requests,
generating more replies/skips for try_read() to handle, forcing the
messenger into a starvation loop.
