3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Matthew Leach <matthew.leach@arm.com>
[ Upstream commit dbb490b96584d4e958533fb637f08b557f505657 ]
When copying in a struct msghdr from the user, if the user has set the msg_namelen parameter to a negative value it gets clamped to a valid size due to a comparison between signed and unsigned values.
Ensure the syscall errors when the user passes in a negative value.
