Oh, hm, yeah, that would be much cleaner. The relationship between
"payload" and nlmsg_len is confusing in here. :)

So, this should be simpler:

-	memcpy(&errmsg->msg, nlh, payload > sizeof(*errmsg) ? nlh->nlmsg_len : sizeof(*nlh));
+	errmsg->msg = *nlh;
+	memcpy(errmsg->msg.nlmsg_payload, nlh->nlmsg_payload, nlmsg_len(nlh));

It's actually this case that triggered my investigation in __bos(1)'s
misbehavior around sub-structs, since this case wasn't getting silenced:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101832

It still feels like it should be possible to get this right without
splitting the memcpy, though. Hmpf.

Maybe something like:

static inline int nlmsg_len(const struct nlmsghdr *nlh)
{
	if (WARN_ON(nlh->nlmsg_len < NLMSG_HDRLEN))
		return 0;
	return nlh->nlmsg_len - NLMSG_HDRLEN;
}

Ah, yes, nice catch!
