3.5.7.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tomas Hozza <tho...@redhat.com>
commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream.
The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed
a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user.
Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored
and a warning is printed into the syslog.
