ip: fix error queue empty skb handling

When reading from the error queue, msg_name and msg_control are only
populated for some errors. A new exception for empty timestamp skbs
added a false positive on icmp errors without payload.

`traceroute -M udpconn` only displayed gateways that return payload
with the icmp error: the embedded network headers are pulled before
sock_queue_err_skb, leaving an skb with skb->len == 0 otherwise.

Fix this regression by refining when msg_name and msg_control
branches are taken. The solutions for the two fields are independent.

msg_name only makes sense for errors that configure serr->port and
serr->addr_offset. Test the first instead of skb->len. This also fixes
another issue. saddr could hold the wrong data, as serr->addr_offset
is not initialized  in some code paths, pointing to the start of the
network header. It is only valid when serr->port is set (non-zero).

msg_control support differs between IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 only honors
requests for ICMP and timestamps with SO...
