Subject: [PATCH] fix double-fetch bug in sock_getsockopt()

In sock_getsockopt(), 'optlen' is fetched the first time from userspace.
'len < 0' is then checked. Then in condition 'SO_MEMINFO', 'optlen' is
fetched the second time from userspace without check.

if a malicious user can change it between two fetches may cause security
problems or unexpected behaivor.

To fix this, we need to recheck it in the second fetch.
