libceph: kill osd request r_trail
The osd trail is a pagelist, used only for a CALL osd operation to hold the class and method names, along with any input data for the call. It is only currently used by the rbd client, and when it's used it is the only bit of outbound data in the osd request. Since we already support (non-trail) pagelist data in a message, we can just save this outbound CALL data in the "normal" pagelist rather than the trail, and get rid of the trail entirely. The existing pagelist support depends on the pagelist being dynamically allocated, and ownership of it is passed to the messenger once it's been attached to a message. (That is to say, the messenger releases and frees the pagelist when it's done with it). That means we need to dynamically allocate the pagelist also. Note that we simply assert that the allocation of a pagelist structure succeeds. Appending to a pagelist might require a dynamic allocation, so we're already assuming we won't run into trouble doing so (we're just ignore any failures--and that should be fixed at some point).
