netlink: don't compare the nul-termination in nla_strcmp
nla_strcmp compares the string length plus one, so it's implicitly including the nul-termination in the comparison. int nla_strcmp(const struct nlattr *nla, const char *str) { int len = strlen(str) + 1; ... d = memcmp(nla_data(nla), str, len); However, if NLA_STRING is used, userspace can send us a string without the nul-termination. This is a problem since the string comparison will not match as the last byte may be not the nul-termination. Fix this by skipping the comparison of the nul-termination if the attribute data is nul-terminated. Suggested by Thomas Graf.
