net: Fix permission check in netlink_connect()
netlink_sendmsg() was changed to prevent non-root processes from sending messages with dst_pid != 0. netlink_connect() however still only checks if nladdr->nl_groups is set. This patch modifies netlink_connect() to check for the same condition. Signed-off-by: Mike Pecovnik <mike.pecovnik@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
