Log:
  rtadvd(8): Fix a typo in full msg receive logic
  
  Check against the size of the struct, not the pointer.  Previously, a message
  with a cm_len between 9 and 23 (inclusive) could cause int msglen to underflow
  and read(2) to be invoked with msglen size (implicitly cast to signed),
  overrunning the caller-provided buffer.
  
  All users of cm_recv() supply a stack buffer.
  
  On the other hand, the rtadvd control socket appears to only be writable by the
  owner, who is probably root.
  
  While here, correct some types to be size_t or ssize_t.
