[PATCH] Fix getsockopt(SO_PEERNAME) buffer size against potential future buffer overflow

[Samuel Thibault]

In net/core/sock.c's sock_getsockopt, the address buffer size is
hardcoded to 128. It happens that sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) is
indeed 128, but that is just luck and would probably not get updated
whenever sockaddr_storage would grow. This patch makes it simply use
sockaddr_storage instead.
