Subject: net: rose: restore old recvmsg behavior
From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f81152e35001e91997ec74a7b4e040e6ab0acccf ]
recvmsg handler in net/rose/af_rose.c performs size-check ->msg_namelen.
After commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c
(net: rework recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic), we now
always take the else branch due to namelen being initialized to 0.
Digging in netdev-vger-cvs git repo shows that msg_namelen was
initialized with a fixed-size since at least 1995, so the else branch
was never taken.
Compile tested only.
