Subject: [PATCH 3.12 024/116] rtnl: RTM_GETNETCONF: fix wrong return value

From: Anton Protopopov <a.s.protopopov@...il.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit a97eb33ff225f34a8124774b3373fd244f0e83ce ]

An error response from a RTM_GETNETCONF request can return the positive
error value EINVAL in the struct nlmsgerr that can mislead userspace.
