netlink: netlink_recvmsg() fix

Browse source 
commit 1dacc76d00
(net/compat/wext: send different messages to compat tasks)
introduced a race condition on netlink, in case MSG_PEEK is used.

An skb given by skb_recv_datagram() might be shared, we must copy it
before any modification, or risk fatal corruption.
