"77c1090 net: fix infinite loop in __skb_recv_datagram()" (v3.8) introduced a
regression:
After that commit, recv can no longer peek beyond a 0-sized skb in the queue.
__skb_recv_datagram() instead stops at the first skb with len == 0 and results
in the system call failing with -EFAULT via skb_copy_datagram_iovec().

if MSG_PEEK is not used, what happens here ?

It doesn't look right to me that we return -EFAULT if skb->len is 0,
EFAULT is reserved to faulting (ie reading/writing at least one byte)

How are we telling the user message had 0 byte, but its not EOF ?
