Eric Dumazet 1af66221a6 net: avoid an indirect call in ____sys_recvmsg() ...

CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y made indirect calls expensive.

gcc seems to add an indirect call in ____sys_recvmsg().

Rewriting the code slightly makes sure to avoid this indirection.

Alternative would be to not call sock_recvmsg() and instead
use security_socket_recvmsg() and sock_recvmsg_nosec(),
but this is less readable IMO.
