I understand what you are trying to achieve, but it's at a real cost
here.  Some of these objects are structures, for example the struct
sock_extended_err is 16 bytes.

And now we're going to copy it twice, once into the on-stack copy,
and then once again into the CMSG blob.

Please find a way to make hardened user copy happy without adding
new overhead.

Thank you.
