Subject: [PATCH v1 net] netlink: Use copy_to_user() for optval in netlink_getsockopt().

Brad Spencer provided a detailed report that when calling getsockopt()
for AF_NETLINK, some SOL_NETLINK options set only 1 byte even though such
options require more than int as length.

The options return a flag value that fits into 1 byte, but such behaviour
confuses users who do not strictly check the value as char.

Currently, netlink_getsockopt() uses put_user() to copy data to optlen and
optval, but put_user() casts the data based on the pointer, char *optval.
So, only 1 byte is set to optval.

To avoid this behaviour, we need to use copy_to_user() or cast optval for
put_user().

Now getsockopt() accepts char as optval as the flags are only 1 byte.

Fixes: 9a4595bc7e67 ("[NETLINK]: Add set/getsockopt options to support more than 32 groups")
Fixes: be0c22a46cfb ("netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option")
Fixes: 38938bfe3489 ("netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag")
Fixes: 0a6a3a23ea6e ("netlink: add NETLINK_CAP_ACK socket option")
Fixes: 2d4bc93368f5 ("netlink: extended ACK reporting")
Fixes: 89d35528d17d ("netlink: Add new socket option to enable strict checking on dumps")
