"ip addr show" command execute error when we have a physical
network card with a large number of VFs
The return value of if_nlmsg_size() in rtnl_calcit() will exceed
range of u16 data type when any network cards has a larger number of
VFs. rtnl_vfinfo_size() will significant increase needed dump size when
the value of num_vfs is larger.
Eventually we get a wrong value of min_ifinfo_dump_size because of overflow
which decides the memory size needed by netlink dump and netlink_dump()
will return -EMSGSIZE because of not enough memory was allocated.
So fix it by promoting min_dump_alloc data type to u32 to
avoid whole netlink message size overflow and it's also align
with the data type of struct netlink_callback{}.min_dump_alloc
which is assigned by return value of rtnl_calcit()

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
