CVE-2025-21716 vxlan: Fix uninit-value in vxlan_vnifilter_dump()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vxlan: Fix uninit-value in vxlan_vnifilter_dump()

KMSAN reported an uninit-value access in vxlan_vnifilter_dump() [1].

If the length of the netlink message payload is less than
sizeof(struct tunnel_msg), vxlan_vnifilter_dump() accesses bytes
beyond the message. This can lead to uninit-value access. Fix this by
returning an error in such situations.
