libceph: clean up skipped message logic

In ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() it is possible for a connection's
alloc_msg method to indicate an incoming message should be skipped.
By default, read_partial_message() initializes the skip variable
to 0 before it gets provided to ceph_con_in_msg_alloc().

The osd client, mon client, and mds client each supply an alloc_msg
method.  The mds client always assigns skip to be 0.

The other two leave the skip value of as-is, or assigns it to zero,
except:
    - if no (osd or mon) request having the given tid is found, in
      which case skip is set to 1 and NULL is returned; or
    - in the osd client, if the data of the reply message is not
      adequate to hold the message to be read, it assigns skip
      value 1 and returns NULL.
So the returned message pointer will always be NULL if skip is ever
non-zero.

Clean up the logic a bit in ceph_con_in_msg_alloc() to make this
state of affairs more obvious.  Add a comment explaining how a null
message pointer can mean either a message that should be skipped or
a problem allocating a message.
