Subject: [net v3] tcp: Specify cmsgbuf is user pointer for receive zerocopy.

From: Arjun Roy <arjunroy@...gle.com>

A prior change (1f466e1f15cf) introduces separate handling for
->msg_control depending on whether the pointer is a kernel or user
pointer. However, while tcp receive zerocopy is using this field, it
is not properly annotating that the buffer in this case is a user
pointer. This can cause faults when the improper mechanism is used
within put_cmsg().

This patch simply annotates tcp receive zerocopy's use as explicitly
being a user pointer.

Fixes: 7eeba1706eba ("tcp: Add receive timestamp support for receive zerocopy.")
