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...
