Oddly enough, it seems that it is now. I don't know what I was testing earlier,
but now I don't see any difference between this simple change, and the
modifications
I did on nl820211.c. I started out trying to fix this in nl820211.c
originally and then
later tried the extern nla_put_*(), but didn't think it helped all
that much then.
I'll just submit the simple patch then. ;-)

I have no idea. It's trying to find out of bounds accesses for
objects on the stack, so maybe it gives each variable a separate
stack location in order to see which one caused problems?
