This is especially important in cases where the kernel allocs a new
structure and expects a field to be set from a netlink attribute. If such
attribute is shorter than expected, the rest of the field is left containing
previous data. When such field is read back by the user space, kernel memory
content is leaked.

nlattr.c doesn't seem to rely on anything from netdevice.h. Removing it
yields identical objdump -d output for each of {allyes,allno,def}config,
and eliminates more than 200 lines from the generated dependency file.

Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes.
Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam.
The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the
triggering command name to implicate the buggy program.
[v2: Use pr_warn_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimited.]

nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly
including the nul-termination in the comparison.
int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str)
{
int len = strlen(str) + 1;
...
d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len);
However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without
the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string
comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the
nul-termination.
Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the
attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map
them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even
using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit
include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along
the way.

L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this:
policy:
[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT] = { .type = NLA_MSECS, },
code:
if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT])
cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]);
As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the
conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly
reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough
and might overrun the message.
Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the
size properly.

Currently nla_policy_len always returns n * NLA_HDRLEN:
It loops, but does not advance it's iterator.
NLA_UNSPEC == 0 does not contain a .len in any policy.
Trivially fixed by adding p++.

The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes
at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers
which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without
casting.
While at it, constify a data array.

We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order
for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts
of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on
NET because the target object is sk_buff.
This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET.
Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work.

Netlink attribute parsing may be used even if CONFIG_NET is not set.
Move it from net/netlink to lib and control its inclusion based on the new
config symbol CONFIG_NLATTR, which is selected by CONFIG_NET.
