[PATCH] net: remove address space warnings in net/socket.c

[PATCH] net: remove address space warnings in net/socket.c

[Namhyung Kim]

Casts __kernel to __user pointer require __force markup, so add it. Also
sock_get/setsockopt() takes @optval and/or @optlen arguments as user pointers
but were taking kernel pointers, use new variables 'uoptval' and/or 'uoptlen'
to fix it. These remove following warnings from sparse:

Applied to net-next-2.6, thank you.
