[PATCH liburing v1 1/2] recv-msgall: Fix undefined behavior in `recv_prep()`

[Ammar Faizi]

The lifetime of `struct msghdr msg;` must be long enough until the CQE
is generated because the recvmsg operation will write to that storage. I
found this test segfault when compiling with -O0 optimization. This is
undefined behavior and may behave randomly.

Fix this by making the lifetime of `struct msghdr msg;` long enough.
