CVE-2021-47297

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: fix uninit-value in caif_seqpkt_sendmsg

When nr_segs equal to zero in iovec_from_user, the object msg->msg_iter.iov is uninit stack memory in caif_seqpkt_sendmsg which is defined in ___sys_sendmsg. So we cann't just judge msg->msg_iter.iov->base directlly. We can use nr_segs to judge msg in caif_seqpkt_sendmsg whether has data buffers.
