Zero out the host's msg_control buffer

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, wrongly assuming that it doesn't because the
length field contains garbage. Accessing the length field 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.

This is tracked as this glibc bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13500

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).
