Subject: [PATCH 025/109] net: socket: add __compat_sys_recvfrom() helper; remove in-kernel call to compat syscall

Using the net-internal helper __compat_sys_recvfrom() allows us to avoid
the internal calls to the compat_sys_recvfrom() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
