Bug description:
  After commit f3d3342602f8bcbf37d7c46641cb9bca7618eb1c ("net: rework
  recvmsg handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic"), which fixes
  CVE-2013-7266 to CVE-2013-7271, we end up with a bug in the af_rose.

  Upstream commit f81152e35001e91997ec74a7b4e040e6ab0acccf restores the
  old behaviour in net/rose/af_rose.c and should get applied to all the
  series that got these CVEs fixed.
