kernel-netlink: increase buffer size for RT netlink messages
Commit 940e1b0f66dc04b0853414c1f4c45fa3f6e33bdd "Filter ignored
interfaces in kernel interfaces (for events, address enumeration,
etc.)" made charon to ignore routes with unusable interfaces.
Unusable interface is one where charon has not seen RTM_NEWLINK
message from the kernel.
Sometime RTM_NEWLINK message can be 1048 bytes large. This is
24 bytes more than currently allocated buffer of 1024 bytes.
If kernel sends such a large message, then it would be silently
ignored by charon and corresponding interface would never become
usable. Hence strongSwan might resolve invalid source IP address
in get_route() function. This would prevent IPsec tunnel to be
established.
To reproduce create a VLAN interface with following command:
vconfig add eth1 12
