Subject: [RFC v3] netlink_ack: send a capped message in case of error

Hi,

After Jiri Benc feedback on my seconds proposal, please find a reworked patch still based on
Pablo Neira Ayuso proposal.

On this patch, I found the sender's socket was saved in netlink_unicast_kernel in NETLINK_CB(skb).sk.
This information now prevent me to look up the socket for every ack.

Also i believe it could be good to make it reach stable as it is somehow a bug fix.

Do you have any other comment ?

Best Regards
Christophe
