In case the message header and payload cannot be stored, function
nlmsg_put returns null.
Fix this by adding multiple sanity checks and avoid a potential
null dereference on _nlh_ when calling nlmsg_end.

It will be much better to fix the tool instead of fixing ghost case.
This scenario is impossible for all those flows.
We can receive the skv/msg in two ways:
* First by allocating new message with NLMSG_DEFAULT_SIZE, which
has more room
than nlmsg_total_size(payload), payload is 0.
* Second by getting from netlink.c and it will be at least "struct
nlmsghdr" too.
Can you please add this info to the commit message?
Actually, I was planing to send a new version of this patch. This time
using the unlikely macro for all the null checks on nlh.
What do you think?
Thanks
