Thanks a lot for your report, PoC and patch fixing the issue. Really great!
The exploitation of this kind of vulnerabilities should be blocked by STACKLEAK.
STACKLEAK is a Linux kernel hardening feature initially developed by
Grsecurity/PaX. I'm doing my best to introduce it to the mainline kernel:

I've tested your PoC against the kernel with STACKLEAK. The msg pointer is now
initialized with STACKLEAK_POISON (-0xBEEF), which points to the unused hole in
the virtual memory map.
So the access to msg->msg_iter gives the following:

Do you think the attacker is able to bypass it?
Thanks a lot again!
