In the first patch, I use BIT() for MSG_* to make the code tidier.

Directly use BIT() for MSG_* will be a bit problematic, because
'msg_flags' is defined as 'int' somewhere, and MSG_CMSG_COMPAT
will make it become negative, just like what Guenter Roeck
reported here:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210317013758.GA134033@roeck-us.net

So in the second patch, I change MSG_CMSG_COMPAT to BIT(21), as
David Laight suggested. MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is an internal value,
which is't used in userspace, so this change works.
