[PATCH] netlink: move nla_put_{u8,u16,u32} out of line

[Arnd Bergmann]

When CONFIG_KASAN is enabled, the "--param asan-stack=1" causes rather large
stack frames in some functions. This goes unnoticed normally because
CONFIG_FRAME_WARN is disabled with CONFIG_KASAN by default as of commit
3f181b4d8652 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with
KASAN=y").

The kernelci.org build bot however has the warning enabled and that led
me to investigate it a little further, as every build produces these warnings:

net/wireless/nl80211.c:4389:1: warning: the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/wireless/nl80211.c:1895:1: warning: the frame size of 3776 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/wireless/nl80211.c:1410:1: warning: the frame size of 2208 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
net/bridge/br_netlink.c:1282:1: warning: the frame size of 2544 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

It turns out that there is a relatively simple workaround for the netlink
users that currently use a local variable in order to do the type conversion:
Moving the three functions (for each of the typical sizes) to lib/nlattr.c
avoids using local variables in the caller, which drastically reduces the
stack usage for nl80211 and br_netlink.

It would be good if we could enable the frame size check after that again,
but that should be a separate patch and it requires some more testing
to see which the largest acceptable frame size should be.
