netlink: bug fix: don't overrun skbs on vf_port dump

Noticed by Patrick McHardy: was continuing to fill skb after a
nla_put_failure, ignoring the size calculated by upper layer.  Now,
return -EMSGSIZE on any overruns, but also allow netdev to
fail ndo_get_vf_port with error other than -EMSGSIZE, thus unwinding
nest.
