The 'user' pointer the fd is written to is in the middle of
the 'cmsg' buffer.
So to hit 'ufd == NULL' the program would have to pass a small
negative integer!

The error paths are strange if there are multiple fd in the message.
A quick look at the old code seems to imply that if the user doesn't
supply a big enough buffer then the extra 'file *' just get closed.
OTOH if there is an error processing one of the files the request
fails with the earlier file allocated fd numbers.

In addition most of the userspace buffer is written after the
loop - any errors there return -EFAULT (SIGSEGV) without
even trying to tidy up the allocated fd.

ISTM that the put_user(new_fd, ufd) could be done in __scm_install_fd()
after __fd_install_received() returns.

scm_detach_fds() could do the put_user(SOL_SOCKET,...) before actually
processing the first file - so that the state can be left unchanged
when a naff buffer is passed.
