drbd: don't leak the shared secret to unprivileged netlink dumps

Browse source

The conversion to explicit netlink serialization dropped the
exclude_sensitive parameter from net_conf_to_skb(), so each caller has
to sanitize by hand. Two dump paths were missed:
drbd_nl_get_connections_dumpit() and the volume-less connection branch
of get_one_status(). Neither op carries GENL_ADMIN_PERM, so any
unprivileged local user could read the CRAM-HMAC secret.

Add a net_conf_to_skb_sanitized() wrapper and route all three callers
through it.
