The lifetime of `struct msghdr msg;` must be long enough until the CQE is generated because the recvmsg operation will write to that storage. I found this test segfault when compiling with -O0 optimization. This is undefined behavior and may behave randomly. Fix this by making the lifetime of `struct msghdr msg;` long enough.
