nbd/server: push pending frames after sending reply
qemu-nbd doesn't set TCP_NODELAY on the tcp socket. Kernel waits for more data and avoids transmission of small packets. Without TLS this is barely noticeable, but with TLS this really shows. Booting a VM via qemu-nbd on localhost (with tls) takes more than 2 minutes on my system. tcpdump shows frequent wait periods, where no packets get sent for a 40ms period. Add explicit (un)corking when processing (and responding to) requests. "TCP_CORK, &zero" after earlier "CORK, &one" will flush pending data. VM Boot time: main: no tls: 23s, with tls: 2m45s patched: no tls: 14s, with tls: 15s VM Boot time, qemu-nbd via network (same lan): main: no tls: 18s, with tls: 1m50s patched: no tls: 17s, with tls: 18s Future optimization: if we could detect if there is another pending request we could defer the uncork operation because more data would be appended.
