Subject: [PATCH 4.14 50/71] netlink: extack needs to be reset each time through loop

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

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

From: David Ahern <dsahern@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit cbbdf8433a5f117b1a2119ea30fc651b61ef7570 ]

syzbot triggered the WARN_ON in netlink_ack testing the bad_attr value.
The problem is that netlink_rcv_skb loops over the skb repeatedly invoking
the callback and without resetting the extack leaving potentially stale
data. Initializing each time through avoids the WARN_ON.

Fixes: 2d4bc93368f5a ("netlink: extended ACK reporting")
