A successful call to recvmsg() causes msg.msg_controllen to contain the length
of the received ancillary data. However, the current code in the 'ip' utility
doesn't reset this value after each recvmsg().
This means that if a call to recvmsg() doesn't have ancillary data, then
'msg.msg_controllen' will be set to 0, causing future recvmsg() which do
contain ancillary data to get MSG_CTRUNC set in msg.msg_flags.
This fixes 'ip monitor' running with the all-nsid option - With this option the
kernel passes the nsid as ancillary data. If while 'ip monitor' is running an
even on the current netns is received, then no ancillary data will be sent,
causing 'msg.msg_controllen' to be set to 0, which causes 'ip monitor' to
indefinitely print "[nsid current]" instead of the real nsid.
Fixes: 449b824ad1 ("ipmonitor: allows to monitor in several netns")
