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.
