Subject: [138/156] netlink: fix NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS in netlink_set_err()

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org>

[ Upstream commit 1a50307ba1826e4da0024e64b245ce4eadf7688a ]

Currently, ENOBUFS errors are reported to the socket via
netlink_set_err() even if NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS is set. However,
that should not happen. This fixes this problem and it changes the
prototype of netlink_set_err() to return the number of sockets that
have set the NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket option. This return
value is used in the next patch in these bugfix series.
