Subject: [PATCH] runc init: avoid netlink message length overflows

When writing netlink messages, it is possible to have a byte array
larger than UINT16_MAX which would result in the length field
overflowing and allowing user-controlled data to be parsed as control
characters (such as creating custom mount points, changing which set of
namespaces to allow, and so on).
