Subject: [patch] netlink: fix a limit in NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS

From: Dan Carpenter <[email-masked]>

This condition doesn't work when len is smaller than expected and not a
multiple of 4.  In that situation "len - pos" is negative and type
promoted to a high unsigned value and we do not break out of the loop.
It causes the program calling it to crash.
