Subject: libnetlink: Double the dump buffer size
Patch-mainline: v4.5.0
Git-commit: 72b365e8e0fd5efe1d5c05d04c25950736635cfb
References: bsc#1045399 bsc#1056261

There have been reports about 'ip addr' printing "Message truncated" on
systems with large numbers of VFs. Although I haven't been able to get
my hands on hardware suitable to reproduce this, increasing the dump
buffer has been reported to resolve the issue. For want of a better
idea, just double the buffer size to 32k.

Feels like this opportunistic buffer size selection is rather
workarounding a design flaw in libnetlink or maybe even the netlink
protocol itself.
