[PATCH 4.4 021/115] net: initialize msg.msg_flags in recvfrom
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Dec 18 2017 - 13:12:13 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 9f138fa609c47403374a862a08a41394be53d461 ]
KMSAN reports a use of uninitialized memory in put_cmsg() because
msg.msg_flags in recvfrom haven't been initialized properly.
The flag values don't affect the result on this path, but it's still a
good idea to initialize them explicitly.
