net/netlink: fix NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS length report
[ Upstream commit f4e4534850a9d18c250a93f8d7fbb51310828110 ]
The current code for the length calculation wrongly truncates the reported
length of the groups array, causing an under report of the subscribed
groups. To fix this, use 'BITS_TO_BYTES()' which rounds up the
division by 8.
