Subject: [PATCH 1/5] netlink: append NLMSG_DONE to compatskb, too

From: Florian Westphal <fwestphal@...aro.com>

modules using netlink may supply a 2nd skb, (via frag_list)
that contains an alternative data set meant for applications
using 32bit compatibility mode.

In such a case, netlink_recvmsg will use this 2nd skb instead of the
original one.

Without this patch, such compat applications will retrieve
all netlink dump data, but will then get an unexpected EOF.
