netlink: handle errors from netlink_dump()
netlink_dump() may failed, but nobody handle its error.
It generates output data, when a previous portion has been returned to
user space. This mechanism works when all data isn't go in skb. If we
enter in netlink_recvmsg() and skb is absent in the recv queue, the
netlink_dump() will not been executed. So if netlink_dump() is failed
one time, the new data never appear and the reader will sleep forever.
netlink_dump() is called from two places:
1. from netlink_sendmsg->...->netlink_dump_start().
In this place we can report error directly and it will be returned
by sendmsg().
2. from netlink_recvmsg
There we can't report error directly, because we have a portion of
valid output data and call netlink_dump() for prepare the next portion.
If netlink_dump() is failed, the socket will be mark as error and the
next recvmsg will be failed.
