mainlining shenanigans

The actual length of cmsg fetched in during the second loop (i.e., kcmsg - kcmsg_base) could be different from what we get from the first loop (i.e., kcmlen). The main reason is that the two get_user() calls in the two loops (i.e., get_user(ucmlen, &ucmsg->cmsg_len) and __get_user(ucmlen, &ucmsg->cmsg_len)) could cause ucmlen to have different values even they fetch from the same userspace address, as user can race to change the memory content in &ucmsg->cmsg_len across fetches. Although in the second loop, the sanity check if ((char *)kcmsg_base + kcmlen - (char *)kcmsg < CMSG_ALIGN(tmp)) is inplace, it only ensures that the cmsg fetched in during the second loop does not exceed the length of kcmlen, but not necessarily equal to kcmlen. But indicated by the assignment kmsg->msg_controllen = kcmlen, we should enforce that. This patch adds this additional sanity check and ensures that what is recorded in kmsg->msg_controllen is the actual cmsg length.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
