The code clearly expects that the pre-allocated skb will be enough for
the netlink reply message. But if in an unbelievable situation there is
a kernel issue and sk_diag_fill() fails with -EMSGSIZE, this WARN_ON()
can be triggered from userspace. That aggravates the issue from KASLR
leak into possible DOS vector. Use WARN_ON_ONCE() which is clearly
enough to provide an information on a kernel issue.
