3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 7880287981b60a6808f39f297bb66936e8bdf57a upstream.
KMSAN reports use of uninitialized memory in the case when |alen| is smaller than sizeof(struct sockaddr_nl), and therefore |nladdr| isn't fully copied from the userspace.
