Subject: [PATCH 4.14 240/246] netlink: Do not subscribe to non-existent groups

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Safonov <dima@...sta.com>

[ Upstream commit 7acf9d4237c46894e0fa0492dd96314a41742e84 ]

Make ABI more strict about subscribing to group > ngroups.
Code doesn't check for that and it looks bogus.
(one can subscribe to non-existing group)
Still, it's possible to bind() to all possible groups with (-1)
