Subject: dco_linux: avoid bogus text when netlink message is not parsed
References: bsc#1239783
Git-repo: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn.git
Git-commit: 4a48841da2d4179a96348994f841661ec9e5ce1d
Patch-mainline: v2.7.0
We may bail out parsing an incoming DCO message because it may
concern a different interface.
In that case we print the following debug messages:
dco_do_read
ovpn-dco: ignoring message (type=5) for foreign ifindex 313
process_incoming_dco: received message of type 0 - ignoring
However, the last message is confusing, because there is no message
of type 0 being received, but the message_type was simply not
initialized.
Bail out parsing earlier and avoid printing any bogus text.
