[libvirt] [PATCH v1] libvirtd: Increase NL buffer size for lots of interface

1. When switching CPUs to offline/online in a system more than 128 cpus
2. When using virsh to destroy domain in a system with more interface

All of above happens nl_recv returned with error: No buffer space available.
This patch set socket buffer size to 128K and turn on message peeking for nl_recv,
as this would solve this problem totally and permanetly.
LTC-Bugzilla: #133359 #125768
