Subject: libceph: use the right footer size when skipping a message

From: Ilya Dryomov <[email protected]>

commit dbc0d3caff5b7591e0cf8e34ca686ca6f4479ee1 upstream.

ceph_msg_footer is 21 bytes long, while ceph_msg_footer_old is only 13. Don't skip too much when CEPH_FEATURE_MSG_AUTH isn't negotiated.
