Subject: [PATCH] [NETLINK]: New message building macros
NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER(skb, nlcb, type, length)
Start a new netlink message as answer to a request,
returns the message header.
NLMSG_END(skb, nlh)
End a netlink message, fixes total message length,
returns skb->len.
NLMSG_CANCEL(skb, nlh)
Cancel the building process and trim whole message
from skb again, returns -1.
