Seems that the inconsistent usages of 'msg_flags' is a lot, for example the
'recvmsg()' in 'struct proto' and 'recvmsg()' in 'struct proto_ops':

int (*recvmsg)(struct sock *sk, struct msghdr *msg,
        size_t len, int noblock, int flags,
        int *addr_len);

This function prototype is used in many places, It's not easy to fix them.
This patch is already reverted, and I think maybe
I can resend it after I fix these 'int' flags.
