rtnetlink: Warn when interface's information won't fit in our packet

rtnetlink: Warn when interface's information won't fit in our packet

[ Upstream commit 973462bbde79bb827824c73b59027a0aed5c9ca6 ]

Without IFLA_EXT_MASK specified, the information reported for a single
interface in response to RTM_GETLINK is expected to fit within a netlink
packet of NLMSG_GOODSIZE.

If it doesn't, however, things will go badly wrong,  When listing all
interfaces, netlink_dump() will incorrectly treat -EMSGSIZE on the first
message in a packet as the end of the listing and omit information for
that interface and all subsequent ones.  This can cause getifaddrs(3) to
enter an infinite loop.

This patch won't fix the problem, but it will WARN_ON() making it easier to
track down what's going wrong.
