If this is not done, qemu would drop any control message after the first
one.

This is because glibc's `CMSG_NXTHDR` macro accesses the uninitialized
cmsghdr's length field in order to find out if the message fits into the
`msg_control` buffer. This is fine for completed messages we receive
from the kernel, but is - as far as I know - not needed since the
kernel won't return such an invalid cmsghdr in the first place.

It's probably also a good idea to bail with an error if `CMSG_NXTHDR`
returns NULL but `TARGET_CMSG_NXTHDR` doesn't (ie. we still expect
cmsgs).
