CVE-2013-3222

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172365

The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set.
It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes
net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable
to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory.

Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared
about vcc_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was set.

Looks to be a cherry-pick indeed, and to do what is claimed.
