Subject: [PATCH 3.16 397/410] netlink: make sure nladdr has correct size
 in netlink_connect()

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexander Potapenko <glider@...gle.com>

commit 7880287981b60a6808f39f297bb66936e8bdf57a upstream.

KMSAN reports use of uninitialized memory in the case when |alen| is
smaller than sizeof(struct sockaddr_nl), and therefore |nladdr| isn't
fully copied from the userspace.
