Subject: [PATCH] caif: Fix missing msg_namelen update in caif_seqpkt_recvmsg()

commit 2d6fbfe733f35c6b355c216644e08e149c61b271 upstream.

The current code does not fill the msg_name member in case it is set.
It also does not set the msg_namelen member to 0 and therefore makes
net/socket.c leak the local, uninitialized sockaddr_storage variable
to userland -- 128 bytes of kernel stack memory.

Fix that by simply setting msg_namelen to 0 as obviously nobody cared
about caif_seqpkt_recvmsg() not filling the msg_name in case it was
set.
