Subject: net: llc: fix use after free in llc_ui_recvmsg

commit 4d231b76eef6c4a6bd9c96769e191517765942cb upstream.

While commit 30a584d944fb fixes datagram interface in LLC, a use
after free bug has been introduced for SOCK_STREAM sockets that do
not make use of MSG_PEEK.

The flow is as follow ...

  if (!(flags & MSG_PEEK)) {
    ...
    sk_eat_skb(sk, skb, false);
    ...
  }
  ...
  if (used + offset < skb->len)
    continue;

... where sk_eat_skb() calls __kfree_skb(). Therefore, cache
original length and work on skb_len to check partial reads.
