Subject: [PATCH] socket: don't return uninitialized addresses on concurrent socket shutdown

If a blocking read waits on a socket which gets concurrently shut down we
return 0 as error and so indicate success to the socket functions which
thus copy an uninitialized stack allocated address back to the user.
Fix this by clearing the 128 byte size (on x86-64) address first.

This patch fixes the problem for recvfrom, recvmsg and recvmmsg.
