genetlink: Introduce genl_register_family_with_ops()
This introduces genl_register_family_with_ops() that registers a genetlink family along with operations from a table. This is used to kill copy'n'paste occurrences in following patches. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

+ * Only one family may be registered with the same family name or identifier.
+ *
+ * The family id may equal GENL_ID_GENERATE causing an unique id to

+ * Either a doit or dumpit callback must be specified for every registered

+ * command identifier may be registered.
+ *
+ * See include/net/genetlink.h for more documenation on the operations
+ * structure.
+ *
+ * This is equivalent to calling genl_register_family() followed by
+ * genl_register_ops() for every operation entry in the table taking
+ * care to unregister the family on error path.
+ *
+ * Return 0 on success or a negative error code.
