When we receive a netlink messages from userspace we need to drop it
from the queue. Hence we need call recvmsg() on the socket for it. We do
this with a zero-size socket read() buffer, so that the message would be
truncated when copied to userspace, and we do not have to allocate any
memory for it, but it's still dropped.
This was broken in ad501930d7, which
turned datagram truncation into an error (rightfully so I think – for
the common case). That broke this code here, because here we *expect*
truncation, and need to handle it gracefully.
Hence simply check for the two error codes for truncated payload or
cdata, and eat it up.
