Yonghong Song 9d0b3c1f14 tools/bpf: fix a netlink recv issue
Commit f7010770fb ("tools/bpf: move bpf/lib netlink related
functions into a new file") introduced a while loop for the
netlink recv path. This while loop is needed since the
buffer in recv syscall may not be enough to hold all the
information and in such cases multiple recv calls are needed.

There is a bug introduced by the above commit as
the while loop may block on recv syscall if there is no
more messages are expected. The netlink message header
flag NLM_F_MULTI is used to indicate that more messages
are expected and this patch fixed the bug by doing
further recv syscall only if multipart message is expected.

The patch added another fix regarding to message length of 0.
When netlink recv returns message length of 0, there will be
no more messages for returning data so the while loop
can end.
