Actually it doesn't, does it? We used to pass an optimally-sized skb
into netlink_unicast() but now we pass one that's larger than it needs
to be.... so netlink_trim() is going to trim it.

I'm going to look at cleaning up this code. Probably the answer will be
to revert to using the tmp buffer, and queue optimally-sized skbs for
netlink.
