Lahav Schlesinger f760bff328 ipmonitor: Fix recvmsg with ancillary data
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")

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. include/uapi

This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
if you have special requirements and need to point at different
kernel include files.
