Subject: netfilter 15/31: nfnetlink: cleanup for nfnetlink_rcv_msg() function

commit f49c857ff20a660850bf8014716d0df6175e1883

    netfilter: nfnetlink: cleanup for nfnetlink_rcv_msg() function
    
    This patch cleans up the message handling path in two aspects:
    
     * it uses NLMSG_LENGTH() instead of NLMSG_SPACE() like rtnetlink
    does in this case to check if there is enough room for the
    Netlink/nfnetlink headers. No need to check for the padding room.
    
     * it removes a redundant header size checking that has been
     already do at the beginning of the function.
