The recvmsg system calls for netlink sockets have been particularly
prone to picking up unrelated data after a file descriptor race
(where the descriptor is closed and reopened concurrently in a
multi-threaded process, as the result of a file descriptor
management issue elsewhere). This commit adds additional error
checking and aborts the process if a datagram of unexpected length
(without the netlink header) is received, or an error code which
cannot happen due to the way the netlink socket is used.
[BZ #12926]
Terminate process on invalid netlink response.
