3.13.11.6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit bfc5184b69cf9eeb286137640351c650c27f118a ]
Any process is able to send netlink messages with leftover bytes.
Make the warning rate-limited to prevent too much log spam.
The warning is supposed to help find userspace bugs, so print the
triggering command name to implicate the buggy program.
[v2: Use pr_warn_ratelimited instead of printk_ratelimited.]
