Subject: [PATCH 4.9 030/177] net: initialize msg.msg_flags in recvfrom

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

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

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@...gle.com>


[ Upstream commit 9f138fa609c47403374a862a08a41394be53d461 ]

KMSAN reports a use of uninitialized memory in put_cmsg() because
msg.msg_flags in recvfrom haven't been initialized properly.
The flag values don't affect the result on this path, but it's still a
good idea to initialize them explicitly.
