Subject: [git pull] reducing kernel_recvmsg() use

From: Al Viro <[email-masked]>

kernel_recvmsg() is a set_fs()-using wrapper for
sock_recvmsg().  In all but one case that is not needed -
use of ITER_KVEC for ->msg_iter takes care of the data
and does not care about set_fs().  The only exception is
svc_udp_recvfrom() where we want cmsg to be store into
kernel object; everything else can just use sock_recvmsg()
and be done with that.

	A followup converting svc_udp_recvfrom() away
from set_fs() (and killing kernel_recvmsg() off) is *NOT*
in that one - I'd like to hear what netdev folks think
of the approach proposed in that followup.
