Could you please clarify when nl_recvmsgs() can return > 0? It is
documented with "return 0 on success or a negative error code from
nl_recv()" and the implementation in libnl is clearly not going to be
able to return > 0..

And if it were possible to get > 0 from here, the other nl_recvmsgs()
calls in driver_nl80211.c should also be modified to remain consistent.
