Since commit 1f466e1f15 ("net: cleanly handle kernel vs user
buffers for ->msg_control"), pointers to user buffers should be
stored in struct msghdr::msg_control_user, instead of the
msg_control field. Most users of msg_control have already been
converted (where user buffers are involved), but not all of them.
This patch attempts to address the remaining cases. An exception is
made for null checks, as it should be safe to use msg_control
unconditionally for that purpose.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
