Subject: [34-longterm 235/247] netlink: Make nlmsg_find_attr take a const nlmsghdr*.

From: Nelson Elhage <nelhage@...lice.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 6b8c92ba07287578718335ce409de8e8d7217e40 upstream.

This will let us use it on a nlmsghdr stored inside a netlink_callback.
