Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: fix uninitialised msghdr->sg_from_iter

Because of how struct msghdr is usually initialised some fields and
sg_from_iter in particular might be left out not initialised, so we
can't safely use it in __zerocopy_sg_from_iter().

For now use the callback only when there is ->msg_ubuf set relying on
the fact that they're used together and we properly zero ->msg_ubuf.

Fixes: ebe73a284f4de8 ("net: Allow custom iter handler in msghdr")

---

It's not the best approach long term but let's fix first and later
I'm going to clean up msghdr initialisation.
