Subject: [PATCH net] net: Fix permission check in netlink_connect()
netlink_sendmsg() was changed to prevent non-root processes from sending
messages with dst_pid != 0.
netlink_connect() however still only checks if nladdr->nl_groups is set.
This patch modifies netlink_connect() to check for the same condition.
