Netlink receives say they came from the kernel

Browse source 
recvfrom and recvmsg on a netlink socket reported no sender address. GLib's
network monitor converts the sender with g_socket_address_to_native to
check it is the kernel (port id 0) before believing a message, and with
nothing there it failed an assertion -- Epiphany, and anything else
watching the network through GIO, aborted at start. Every message on a
netlink socket here does come from the kernel, so that is what is reported:
a sockaddr_nl with port id 0 and no groups, as getsockname already says.
