Dmitry Safonov e11eb32de3 netlink/compat: Append NLMSG_DONE/extack to frag_list
Modules those use netlink may supply a 2nd skb, (via frag_list)
that contains an alternative data set meant for applications
using 32bit compatibility mode.

In such a case, netlink_recvmsg will use this 2nd skb instead of the
original one.

Without this patch, such compat applications will retrieve
all netlink dump data, but will then get an unexpected EOF.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
