Doing so, we save one call to get data we already have in the struct.

Also, since there is no guarantee that getname use sockaddr_ll
parameter beyond its size, we add a little bit of security here.
It should do not do beyond MAX_ADDR_LEN, but syzbot found that
ax25_getname writes more (72 bytes, the size of full_sockaddr_ax25,
versus 20 + 32 bytes of sockaddr_ll + MAX_ADDR_LEN in syzbot repro).

Fixes: 3a4d5c94e9593 ("vhost_net: a kernel-level virtio server")
