3.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcu...@openvz.org>
[ Upstream commit cacb6ba0f36ab14a507f4ee7697e8332899015d2 ]
We've observed that in case if UDP diag module is not
supported in kernel the netlink returns NLMSG_DONE without
notifying a caller that handler is missed.
This patch makes __inet_diag_dump to return error code instead.
So as example it become possible to detect such situation
and handle it gracefully on userspace level.
