net: Save and restore msg_namelen in sock_sendmsg
Commit 86a7e0b6 ("net: prevent rewrite of msg_name in sock_sendmsg()") made sock_sendmsg save the incoming msg_name pointer and restore it before returning, to insulate the caller against msg_name being changed by the called code. If the address length was also changed however, we may return with an inconsistent structure where the length doesn't match the address, and attempts to reuse it may lead to lost packets. For example, a kernel that doesn't have commit 1c5950fc ("udp6: fix potential access to stale information") will replace a v4 mapped address with its ipv4 equivalent, and shorten namelen accordingly from 28 to 16. If the caller attempts to reuse the resulting msg structure, it will have the original ipv6 (v4 mapped) address but an incorrect v4 length.
