sctp: Fixup v4mapped behaviour to comply with Sock API



The SCTP socket extensions API document describes the v4mapping option as
follows:

8.1.15.  Set/Clear IPv4 Mapped Addresses (SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR)

   This socket option is a Boolean flag which turns on or off the
   mapping of IPv4 addresses.  If this option is turned on, then IPv4
   addresses will be mapped to V6 representation.  If this option is
   turned off, then no mapping will be done of V4 addresses and a user
   will receive both PF_INET6 and PF_INET type addresses on the socket.
   See [RFC3542] for more details on mapped V6 addresses.

This description isn't really in line with what the code does though.

Introduce addr_to_user (renamed addr_v4map), which should be called
before any sockaddr is passed back to user space. The new function
places the sockaddr into the correct format depending on the
SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR option.

Audit all places that touched v4mapped and either sanely construct
a v4 or v6 address then call addr_to_user, or drop the
unnecessary v4mapped check entirely.

Audit all places that call addr_to_user and verify they are on a sycall
return path.

Add a custom getname that formats the address properly.

Several bugs are addressed:
 - SCTP_I_WANT_MAPPED_V4_ADDR=0 often returned garbage for
   addresses to user space
 - The addr_len returned from recvmsg was not correct when
   returning AF_INET on a v6 socket
 - flowlabel and scope_id were not zerod when promoting
   a v4 to v6
 - Some syscalls like bind and connect behaved differently
   depending on v4mapped

Tested bind, getpeername, getsockname, connect, and recvmsg for proper
behaviour in v4mapped = 1 and 0 cases.
