[PATCH 1/6] socketeutils: extend receive_responses() to handle other type than SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY communication

[Masatake YAMATO]

Now I'm working on decoding the communication on Netlink GENERIC
protocol.  For the task, many lines of receive_responses can be reused
with two minor modifications. This is the first one.

receive_responses was written for decoding the response from kernel of
SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY communication; other communications were ignored.
This change makes the type of communication a parameter. So the function
can be used for another type of communication.

* socketutils.c (receive_responses): add a new parameter
`expected_msg_type' to handle other type than SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY
communication.
