From: Frédéric Fortier <f...@ghgsat.com> getsockopt(fd, SOL_NETLINK, NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS, *optval, *optlen) syscall allows optval to be NULL/invalid if optlen points to a size of zero. This allows userspace to query the length of the array they should use to get the full membership list before allocating memory for said list, then re-calling getsockopt with proper optval/optlen arguments.
Notable users of this pattern include systemd-networkd, which in the (albeit old) version 237 tested, cannot start without this fix.
