[ 01/25] net: sendmsg: fix failed backport of "fix NULL pointer dereference"

From: Willy Tarreau

2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>

Luis Henriques reported that while backporting commit 40eea80 ("net:
sendmsg: fix NULL pointer dereference") and applying the diff by hand,
I made a typo resulting in the same test being done twice, and msg_name
not being tested.

This fixes cf90357 ("net: sendmsg: fix NULL pointer dereference")
which was merged into 2.6.32.64.
