[Trusty] [CVE-2014-0181] [PATCH 1/6] net: Fix permission check in, netlink_connect()

[Maarten Lankhorst]

BugLink: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1312989

netlink_sendmsg() was changed to prevent non-root processes from sending
messages with dst_pid != 0.
netlink_connect() however still only checks if nladdr->nl_groups is set.
This patch modifies netlink_connect() to check for the same condition.
