We update selftests/net/msg_zerocopy.c to accommodate the new mechanism.

Test result from selftests/net/msg_zerocopy.c,
cfg_notification_limit = 1, in this case MSG_ZEROCOPY approximately
aligns with the semantics of MSG_ZEROCOPY_UARG. In this case, the new
flag has around 13% cpu savings in TCP and 18% cpu savings in UDP.

| New ZCopy / ZCopy   | 113.83% | 112.69% | 120.88% | 117.59% |
+---------------------+---------+---------+---------+---------+

cfg_notification_limit = 32, it means less poll + recvmsg overhead,
the new mechanism performs 8% better in TCP. For UDP, no obvious
performance gain is observed and sometimes may lead to degradation.
Thus, if users don't need to retrieve the notification ASAP in UDP,
the original mechanism is preferred.

Please define an enum

And consider less truncated, more descriptive, names. E.g.,

   MSG_ZEROCOPY_NOTIFY_ERRQUEUE
   MSG_ZEROCOPY_NOTIFY_SENDMSG
