[PATCH 2/2] daq_nfq: avoid uneeded -ENOBUFS on queue overrun

[Florian Westphal <fwestphal () astaro com>]

netlink signals event queue overflows by returning -ENOBUFS to
userspace.

daq_nfq does not need to care about this, so ignore ENOBUFS and tell
the kernel to not notify us in the first place.
