netlink: do not reset transport header in netlink_recvmsg()
[ Upstream commit d5076fe4049cadef1f040eda4aaa001bb5424225 ]
netlink_recvmsg() does not need to change transport header.
If transport header was needed, it should have been reset
by the producer (netlink_dump()), not the consumer(s).
The following trace probably happened when multiple threads
were using MSG_PEEK.
