I found a bug in this and am posting the following
update.  If a connection's alloc_msg() method sets
the skip flag, it will return with con->in_msg being
a null pointer.  The original version of this would
dereference that pointer without checking, which
causes a crash.  This version checks first.

(This and the updated patches that follow it are
available in the "review/wip-3761-4" branch of the
ceph-client git repository.)

We know the length of our message buffers.  If we get a message
that's too long, just dump it and ignore it.  If skip was set
then con->in_msg won't be valid, so be careful not to dereference
a null pointer in the process.

This resolves:

v2: make sure con->in_msg is valid before dereferencing it
