Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 060/110] net: socket: Fix the wrong returns for recvmsg and sendmsg

3.16.7-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Junling Zheng <zhengjunling@...wei.com>

Based on 08adb7dabd4874cc5666b4490653b26534702ce0 upstream.

Commit 281c9c36 (net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match
copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour) made get_compat_msghdr() return
error if msg_sys->msg_namelen was negative, which changed the behaviors
of recvmsg and sendmsg syscall in a lib32 system:

Before commit 281c9c36, get_compat_msghdr() wouldn't fail and it would
return -EINVAL in move_addr_to_user() or somewhere if msg_sys->msg_namelen
was invalid and then syscall returned -EINVAL, which is correct.

And now, when msg_sys->msg_namelen is negative, get_compat_msghdr() will
fail and wants to return -EINVAL, however, the outer syscall will return
-EFAULT directly, which is unexpected.

This patch gets the return value of get_compat_msghdr() as well as
copy_msghdr_from_user(), then returns this expected value if
get_compat_msghdr() fails.

Fixes: 281c9c36 (net: compat: Update get_compat_msghdr() to match copy_msghdr_from_user() behaviour)
