linux-user: Fix length handling in host_to_target_cmsg
The previous code for handling payload length when converting cmsg structures from host to target had a number of problems: * we required the msg->msg_controllen to declare the buffer to have enough space for final trailing padding (we were checking against CMSG_SPACE), whereas the kernel does not require this, and common userspace code assumes this. (In particular, glibc's "try to talk to nscd" code that it will run on startup will receive a cmsg with a 4 byte payload and only allocate 4 bytes for it, which was causing us to do the wrong thing on architectures that need 8-alignment.) * we weren't correctly handling the fact that the SO_TIMESTAMP payload may be larger for the target than the host * we weren't marking the messages with MSG_CTRUNC when we did need to truncate a message that wasn't truncated by the host, but were instead logging a QEMU message; since truncation is always the result of a guest giving us an insufficiently sized buffer, we should report it to the guest as the kernel does and don't log anything Rewrite the parts of the function that deal with length to fix these issues, and add a comment in target_to_host_cmsg to explain why the overflow logging it does is a QEMU bug, not a guest issue.
