[New-bugs-announce] [issue20736] test_socket: testSendmsgDontWait needlessly skipped on Linux

[David Watson]

New submission from David Watson:

In test_socket, the decorator on SendmsgStreamTests.testSendmsgDontWait still checks for the old sys.platform value of "linux2", with the result that the test is always skipped, when in fact the test is for a Linux facility.  Patch attached for 3.3 and above.
