[PATCH v1] netlink: Remove implicit 32-bit trunction in nla_memcmp

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

64-bit truncation to 32-bit can result in the sign of the truncated
value changing. The nla_memcmp function subtracts a 16-bit nla_len
from a size_t size and so this shouldn't occur, but the code looks
hazardous so change it to make the comparisons explicit and avoid a
truncated subtract.
