Those bug_ons look quite scary, is there a way to actually have a wrong
optname? Plus, those _INFO definitions are declared twice in the code,
which makes it harder to update.

This one is used to temporarily map some address, but functions called
between map and unmap functions (like rds_info_getsockopt()) may sleep,
which is wrong.
