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

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

From: Mathias Krause <mini...@googlemail.com>

[ Upstream commit 162b2bedc084d2d908a04c93383ba02348b648b0 ]

The current code tests the length of the whole netlink message to be
at least as long to fit a cn_msg. This is wrong as nlmsg_len includes
the length of the netlink message header. Use nlmsg_len() instead to
fix this "off-by-NLMSG_HDRLEN" size check.
