call_ad() computes the netlink error payload size with
min(SIZE_MAX, sizeof(*errmsg) + nlmsg_len(nlh)), but min(SIZE_MAX, x)
is always x, so the guard is a no-op.
Replace it with an explicit negative-length check and
check_add_overflow() so the addition is validated before being passed
to nlmsg_new().
