Subject: [PATCH 4.14 04/25] netlink: do not reset transport header in netlink_recvmsg()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit d5076fe4049cadef1f040eda4aaa001bb5424225 ]

netlink_recvmsg() does not need to change transport header.

If transport header was needed, it should have been reset
by the producer (netlink_dump()), not the consumer(s).

The following trace probably happened when multiple threads
were using MSG_PEEK.

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in netlink_recvmsg / netlink_recvmsg
