[DCCP]: Honour and make use of shutdown option set by user
This extends the DCCP socket API by honouring any shutdown(2) option set by the user. The behaviour is, as much as possible, made consistent with the API for TCP's shutdown. This patch exploits the information provided by the user via the socket API to reduce processing costs: * if the read end is closed (SHUT_RD), it is not necessary to deliver to input CCID; * if the write end is closed (SHUT_WR), the same idea applies, but with a difference - as long as the TX queue has not been drained, we need to receive feedback to keep congestion-control rates up to date. Hence SHUT_WR is honoured only after the last packet (under congestion control) has been sent; * although SHUT_RDWR seems nonsensical, it is nevertheless supported in the same manner as for TCP (and agrees with test for SHUTDOWN_MASK in dccp_poll() in net/dccp/proto.c). Furthermore, most of the code already honours the sk_shutdown flags (dccp_recvmsg() for instance sets the read length to 0 if SHUT_RD had been called); CCID handling is now added to this by the present patch. There will also no longer be any delivery when the socket is in the final stages, i.e. when one of dccp_close(), dccp_fin(), or dccp_done() has been called - which is fine since at that stage the connection is its final stages. Motivation and background are on http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/notes/shutdown A FIXME has been added to notify the other end if SHUT_RD has been set (RFC 4340, 11.7). Note: There is a comment in inet_shutdown() in net/ipv4/af_inet.c which asks to "make sure the socket is a TCP socket". This should probably be extended to mean `TCP or DCCP socket' (the code is also used by UDP and raw sockets).
