The CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG netlink message type provides a buffer to the kernel to retrieve information from the kernel. The data buffer will not provide any input and will not be read. Hence the nlmsg_parse is not applicable to this netlink message type. This patch fixes the following kernel log message when using this netlink interface: netlink: 208 bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process `XXX'. Patch successfully tested with libkcapi from [1] which uses CRYPTO_MSG_GETALG to obtain cipher-specific information from the kernel.
