'more' contains whether sendfile() has been called with SPLICE_F_MORE or
not.
Until all bytes are processed, we have to force SPLICE_F_MORE regardless
of how sendfile() was called.
Once all bytes have been read, we have to reset the flags according to
how sendfile() was called, so if 'more' is NOT set, we have to clear
SPLICE_F_MORE from sd->flags (which was unconditionaly set for
processing the first bytes)
