[PATCH] net: ipv6: Truncate single route when it doesn't fit into dump buffer.

[Jan Moskyto Matejka]

When rt6_fill_node() fails to fit the route into the buffer,
it drops the route, returns -EMSGSIZE and waits for buffer flush.
This condition is detected by non-null return value and non-empty
buffer; the buffer is flushed and rt6_fill_node() restarted.

However, when a single route generates such a long message that
it doesn't fit into the buffer itself, inet6_dump_fib() misinterprets
the non-null return value together with non-empty buffer as end of dump
and silently truncates the dump.

This patch fixes this by explicitly truncating the message and
inidicating it by NLM_F_TRUNC flag in its nlmsghdr.

Reproducer:
  # ip -6 route show
  ... it shows some routes
  # ip -6 route add fccc::/64 via fe80::ff:fe00:0 dev testdev table 2
  # for a in $(seq 1 1000); do
      ip -6 route append fccc::/64 via fe80::ff:fe00:$a dev testdev table 2
    done
  # ip -6 route show
  ... the output is truncated

This came to light by David Ahern's
commit beb1afac518dec5a15dc ("net: ipv6: Add support to dump multipath
routes via RTA_MULTIPATH attribute")
but obviously existed before, just hidden.
