Subject: [139/156] netfilter: ctnetlink: fix reliable event delivery if message building fails

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

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

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

[ Upstream commit 37b7ef7203240b3aba577bb1ff6765fe15225976 ]

This patch fixes a bug that allows to lose events when reliable
event delivery mode is used, ie. if NETLINK_BROADCAST_SEND_ERROR
and NETLINK_RECV_NO_ENOBUFS socket options are set.
