[PATCH 5.4 009/214] tipc: fix uninit skb->data in tipc_nl_compat_dumpit()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 47733f9daf4fe4f7e0eb9e273f21ad3a19130487 ]

__tipc_nl_compat_dumpit() has two callers, and it expects them to
pass a valid nlmsghdr via arg->data. This header is artificial and
crafted just for __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit().

tipc_nl_compat_publ_dump() does so by putting a genlmsghdr as well
as some nested attribute, TIPC_NLA_SOCK. But the other caller
tipc_nl_compat_dumpit() does not, this leaves arg->data uninitialized
on this call path.

Fix this by just adding a similar nlmsghdr without any payload in
tipc_nl_compat_dumpit().

This bug exists since day 1, but the recent commit 6ea67769ff33
("net: tipc: prepare attrs in __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit()") makes it
easier to appear.
