[libvirt] [PATCH v4] libvirtd: Increase NL buffer size for lots of interface

1. When switching CPUs to offline/online in a system more than 128 cpus 2. When using virsh to destroy domain in a system with more interface All of above happens nl_recv returned with error: No buffer space available. This patch sets the socket buffer size to 128K and turns on message peeking on new function virNetlinkAlloc,as this would solve this problem totally and permanetly.
