[PULL 22/22] linux-user: Allow sendmsg() without IOV

[Laurent Vivier]

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

Applications do call sendmsg() without any IOV, e.g.:
 sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=NULL, msg_iovlen=0,
            msg_control=[{cmsg_len=36, cmsg_level=SOL_ALG, cmsg_type=0x2}],
            msg_controllen=40, msg_flags=0}, MSG_MORE) = 0
 sendmsg(4, {msg_name=NULL, msg_namelen=0, msg_iov=[{iov_base="The quick brown 
fox jumps over t"..., iov_len=183}],
            msg_iovlen=1, msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20, cmsg_level=SOL_ALG, 
cmsg_type=0x3}],
            msg_controllen=24, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 183

The function do_sendrecvmsg_locked() is used for sndmsg() and recvmsg()
and calls lock_iovec() to lock the IOV into memory. For the first
sendmsg() above it returns NULL and thus wrongly skips the call the host
sendmsg() syscall, which will break the calling application.

Fix this issue by:
- allowing sendmsg() even with empty IOV
- skip recvmsg() if IOV is NULL
- skip both if the return code of do_sendrecvmsg_locked() != 0, which
  indicates some failure like EFAULT on the IOV

Tested with the debian "ell" package with hppa guest on x86_64 host.
