Subject: netlink: extack needs to be reset each time through loop
Git-commit: cbbdf8433a5f117b1a2119ea30fc651b61ef7570
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc9
References: networking-stable-18_01_28
syzbot triggered the WARN_ON in netlink_ack testing the bad_attr value.
The problem is that netlink_rcv_skb loops over the skb repeatedly invoking
the callback and without resetting the extack leaving potentially stale
data. Initializing each time through avoids the WARN_ON.
Fixes: 2d4bc93368f5a ("netlink: extended ACK reporting")
