Subject: [PATCH] CIFS: Add support for direct pages in rdata
Git-commit: f9f5aca115fd4a4b49cdc483084a0dc4ca316b25
Patch-mainline: v4.17
References: bsc#1144333

Add a function to allocate rdata without allocating pages for data
transfer. This gives the caller an option to pass a number of pages
that point to the data buffer.

rdata is still reponsible for free those pages after it's done.
