netlink: Use copy_to_user() for optval in netlink_getsockopt().

Brad Spencer provided a detailed report [0] that when calling getsockopt()
for AF_NETLINK, some SOL_NETLINK options set only 1 byte even though such
options require at least sizeof(int) as length.

The options return a flag value that fits into 1 byte, but such behaviour
confuses users who do not initialise the variable before calling
getsockopt() and do not strictly check the returned value as char.

Currently, netlink_getsockopt() uses put_user() to copy data to optlen and
optval, but put_user() casts the data based on the pointer, char *optval.
As a result, only 1 byte is set to optval.

To avoid this behaviour, we need to use copy_to_user() or cast optval for
put_user().

Note that this changes the behaviour on big-endian systems, but we document
that the size of optval is int in the man page.

  $ man 7 netlink
  ...
  Socket options
       To set or get a netlink socket option, call getsockopt(2) to read
       or setsockopt(2) to write the option with the option level argument
       set to SOL_NETLINK.  Unless otherwise noted, optval is a pointer to
       an int.

Fixes: 9a4595bc ("[NETLINK]: Add set/getsockopt options to support more than 32 groups")
Fixes: be0c22a4 ("netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option")
Fixes: 38938bfe ("netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag")
Fixes: 0a6a3a23 ("netlink: add NETLINK_CAP_ACK socket option")
Fixes: 2d4bc933 ("netlink: extended ACK reporting")
Fixes: 89d35528 ("netlink: Add new socket option to enable strict checking on dumps")
