A prior change (1f466e1f15) introduces separate handling for ->msg_control depending on whether the pointer is a kernel or user pointer. However, while tcp receive zerocopy is using this field, it is not properly annotating that the buffer in this case is a user pointer. This can cause faults when the improper mechanism is used within put_cmsg(). This patch simply annotates tcp receive zerocopy's use as explicitly being a user pointer. Fixes:7eeba1706e("tcp: Add receive timestamp support for receive zerocopy.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
