Subject: [patch] net: heap overflow in __audit_sockaddr()

We need to cap ->msg_namelen or it leads to a buffer overflow when we
to the memcpy() in __audit_sockaddr().  It requires CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to
exploit this bug.

The call tree is:
___sys_recvmsg()
  move_addr_to_user()
    audit_sockaddr()
      __audit_sockaddr()
