This function was added in 4981fe750b (pkt-line: share
buffer/descriptor reading implementation, 2013-02-23), but in
01f9ec64c8 (Use packet_reader instead of packet_read_line,
2018-12-29) the code that was using it was removed.
Since it's being removed we can in turn remove the "src" and "src_len"
arguments to packet_read(), all the remaining users just passed a
NULL/NULL pair to it.
That function is only a thin wrapper for packet_read_with_status()
which still needs those arguments, but for the thin packet_read()
convenience wrapper we can do away with it for now.

report_result() sends a struct to the parent process, but that struct
would contain uninitialised padding bytes. Running this code under MSAN
rightly triggers a warning - but we don't particularly care about this
warning because we control the receiving code, and we therefore know
that those padding bytes won't be read on the receiving end.
We could simply suppress this warning under MSAN with the approporiate
ifdef'd attributes, but a less intrusive solution is to 0-initialise the
struct, which guarantees that the padding will also be initialised.
Interestingly, in the error-case branch, we only try to copy the first
two members of pc_item_result, by copying only PC_ITEM_RESULT_BASE_SIZE
bytes. However PC_ITEM_RESULT_BASE_SIZE is defined as
'offsetof(the_last_member)', which means that we're copying padding bytes
after the end of the second last member. We could avoid doing this by
redefining PC_ITEM_RESULT_BASE_SIZE as
'offsetof(second_last_member) + sizeof(second_last_member)', but there's
no huge benefit to doing so (and this patch silences the MSAN warning in
this scenario either way).
MSAN output from t2080 (partially interleaved due to the
parallel work :) ):

Allow make_transient_cache_entry() to optionally receive a mem_pool
struct in which it should allocate the entry. This will be used in the
following patch, to store some transient entries which should persist
until parallel checkout finishes.

Use multiple worker processes to distribute the queued entries and call
write_pc_item() in parallel for them. The items are distributed
uniformly in contiguous chunks. This minimizes the chances of two
workers writing to the same directory simultaneously, which could affect
performance due to lock contention in the kernel. Work stealing (or any
other format of re-distribution) is not implemented yet.
The protocol between the main process and the workers is quite simple.
They exchange binary messages packed in pkt-line format, and use
PKT-FLUSH to mark the end of input (from both sides). The main process
starts the communication by sending N pkt-lines, each corresponding to
an item that needs to be written. These packets contain all the
necessary information to load, smudge, and write the blob associated
with each item. Then it waits for the worker to send back N pkt-lines
containing the results for each item. The resulting packet must contain:
the identification number of the item that it refers to, the status of
the operation, and the lstat() data gathered after writing the file (iff
the operation was successful).
For now, checkout always uses a hardcoded value of 2 workers, only to
demonstrate that the parallel checkout framework correctly divides and
writes the queued entries. The next patch will add user configurations
and define a more reasonable default, based on tests with the said
settings.
