[PATCH 3.18 104/121] netlink: make sure nladdr has correct size in netlink_connect()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 7880287981b60a6808f39f297bb66936e8bdf57a ]

KMSAN reports use of uninitialized memory in the case when |alen| is
smaller than sizeof(struct sockaddr_nl), and therefore |nladdr| isn't
fully copied from the userspace.
