The whole network stack uses sockptr, and while it doesn't move to
something more modern, let's use sockptr in getsockptr BPF hooks, so, it
could be used by other callers.

The main motivation for this change is to use it in the io_uring
{g,s}etsockopt(), which will use a userspace pointer for *optval, but, a
kernel value for optlen.

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.
