Subject: [PATCH net] ipv4: provide stronger user input validation in
 nl_fib_input()

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

Alexander reported a KMSAN splat caused by reads of uninitialized
field (tb_id_in) from user provided struct fib_result_nl

It turns out nl_fib_input() sanity tests on user input is a bit
wrong :

User can pretend nlh->nlmsg_len is big enough, but provide
at sendmsg() time a too small buffer.
