Under high memory pressure and very high KVP R/W test pressure, the netlink
recvfrom() may transiently return ENOBUFS to the daemon -- we found this
during a 2-week stress test.
We'd better not terminate the daemon on this failure, because a typical KVP
user can re-try the R/W and hopefully it will succeed next time.
