Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.
