Subject: [PATCH 084/105] tuntap: set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag during open

3.8.13.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 19a6afb23e5d323e1245baa4e62755492b2f1200 ]

Commit 54f968d6efdbf7dec36faa44fc11f01b0e4d1990
(tuntap: move socket to tun_file) forgets to set SOCK_ZEROCOPY flag, which will
prevent vhost_net from doing zercopy w/ tap. This patch fixes this by setting
it during file open.
