Subject[PATCH 62/64] netlink: Avoid false-positive memcpy() warning
Date
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time
field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid
intentionally writing across neighboring fields.

Add a flexible array member to mark the end of struct nlmsghdr, and
split the memcpy() to avoid false positive memcpy() warning:

memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field (size 16)
