Wait, I keeping this back after closer look.

I think we have to remove this:

if (nlh->nlmsg_len < NLMSG_HDRLEN || <---
skb->len < NLMSG_HDRLEN + sizeof(struct nfgenmsg))
return;

in nfnetlink_rcv_skb_batch()

now that we make this unfront check from nfnetlink_rcv().

P.S: Sorry I couldn't look at this any sooner, I've been busy in the
last weeks preparing things for the upcoming Netfilter Workshop.
