An invalid packet with a length shorter than the specified length in the
netlink header can lead to use-after-frees and slab-out-of-bounds in the
processing of the netlink attributes, such as the following:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __nla_validate_parse+0x1258/0x2010
  Read of size 2 at addr ffff88800ac7952c by task kworker/0:1/12

 </TASK>

Discarding packets with an invalid length solves this.
Therefore, skb->len must be set at reception.
