net/ipv6: propagate user pointer annotation
For IPV6_2292PKTOPTIONS, do_ipv6_getsockopt() stores the user pointer optval in the msg_control field of the msghdr. Hence, sparse rightfully warns at ./net/ipv6/ipv6_sockglue.c:1151:33: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) expected void *msg_control got char [noderef] __user *optval Since commit 1f466e1f ("net: cleanly handle kernel vs user buffers for ->msg_control"), user pointers shall be stored in the msg_control_user field, and kernel pointers in the msg_control field. This allows to propagate __user annotations nicely through this struct. Store optval in msg_control_user to properly record and propagate the memory space annotation of this pointer. Note that msg_control_is_user is set to true, so the key invariant, i.e., use msg_control_user if and only if msg_control_is_user is true, holds. The msghdr is further used in the six alternative put_cmsg() calls, with msg_control_is_user being true, put_cmsg() picks msg_control_user preserving the __user annotation and passes that properly to copy_to_user(). No functional change. No change in object code.
