ip.7: Some socket options are not supported by SOCK_STREAM
It was not made clear in several socket options that they were not supported by SOCK_STREAM; this patch fixes that. Socket options not supported by SOCK_STREAM are handled in the ip_cmsg_recv_offset() function in <net/ipv4/ip_sockglue.c>. The function is called for udp sockets, and indirectly by ping and raw sockets, but not for STREAM sockets, as they don't support these options.
