Hi.

After discussion with KY Srinivasan and Olaf Hering I'm sending you
a patch for the HyperV KVP daemon distributed in linux kernel
"tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c".

There is an issue in the current daemon source causing hyperv kvp daemon
to exit when it processes a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent
from an untrusted local user.

This patch is fixing this, so now the Netlink messages with a non-zero
nl_pid source address are just ignored.
