[PATCH net 1/2] net: check the sendmsg LSM hook for every batched message

sendmmsg() skips security_socket_sendmsg() when two consecutive
messages have the same explicit destination address. The comparison
does not account for the message size, so a BPF LSM policy that denies
large sends can be bypassed by placing an allowed message first.

Use __sock_sendmsg() for the cached-destination case as well, so that
every message undergoes the LSM check. Keep the remainder of the
address-caching logic unchanged in this minimal correction.
