To ensure that we do not regress, when adding options, please consider
(just a general suggestion, not a strong request for this patch set)
updating the kselftest to run a variant of the test with the new code
coverage. In this case, make the code pass/fail instead of only user
interpretable and add variants to udpgso.sh.

can use more precise CMSG_SPACE based on worst case expectations, like
in udp_sendmmsg

no need for payload

no need to pass POLLERR, it is always returned in revents.
