An upstream fix is requested to resolve a use-case where sockaddr gets re-written which causes NFS-breakage.


Testing:
 - GCP has confirmed that the fix works before proposing it upstream. I have verified basic network sanity with the fix applied. I will also ask them to confirm the fix with the kernel in -proposed.


Regression potenial:
 - The fix modifies kernel_connect() which can have an effect on all kinds of network connections. The change itself is very minor and only converts a pass-by-reference to a pass-by-value - so the risk is considered minimal.
