💅 xprt_prepare_transmit — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

✨ NAME ✨

xprt_prepare_transmit — reserve the transport before sending a request

like, before you yeet a request out the door, you gotta claim your spot on the transport. that's the whole vibe. no reservation, no transmission. periodt. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool xprt_prepare_transmit (struct rpc_task *task );

it's a bool, bestie. so it comes back and tells you yes or no — and that's literally the entire synopsis, no cap.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• task — the RPC task that's about to send a request. that's it. that's the argument. she's a main character and she's about to transmit 💅
