I am not sure this is correct. The compat syscall does:

COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE6(recvfrom, int, fd, void __user *, buf,
compat_size_t, len,
      unsigned int, flags, struct sockaddr __user *, addr,
      int __user *, addrlen)
{
   return sys_recvfrom(fd, buf, len, flags | MSG_CMSG_COMPAT, addr, addrlen);
}

netlink_cmsg_recv_pktinfo expects that MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in msg.flags,
but we put it into flags.
