Congestion control similar to the way dumping works may work for you.

Note the initial goal was to have dump work for large tables and a
simple get for a basic table row.
Since netlink is being used for a lot of things now, it may be time to
obsolete those assumptions. 
Note also, theres a lot of wastage of that scarce sock buffer via page
sized skbs - its not as trivial to fix, but would go some way to improve
overrunning of the socket.
