Subject: [PATCH] ip.7: Add not supported by SOCK_STREAM to socket options

It was not made clear in several socket options that they were not
supported by SOCK_STREAM; this patch fixes that.

Socket options not supported by SOCK_STREAM are handled in the
ip_cmsg_recv_offset function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c. The function is
called for udp sockets, and indirectly by ping and raw sockets, but not
for TCP sockets, as they don't support these options.
