It was not made clear in several socket options that they were not
supported by SOCK_STREAM; this patch fixes that.
Socket options not supported by SOCK_STREAM are handled in the
ip_cmsg_recv_offset function in net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c. The function is
called for udp sockets, and indirectly by ping and raw sockets, but not
for STREAM sockets, as they don't support these options.

v1->v2: Add IP_RETOPTS to the socket options without support on
SOCK_STREAM
Alex, I have attached the two test programs below, updated for support
with IP_RETOPTS.
I couldn't get an ip option out of netcat, so I'm attaching the client
programs, also updated with support for IP_OPTIONS, so they put an ip
option onto the packet for the server program to recieve.
Here is the diff between the two servers:
