backports: support new generic netlink APIs
I recently changed the generic netlink registration and multicast group APIs to be safer. Backport these changes by implementing all the new APIs in terms of what was in the kernel before. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>

+const, but older can't have that. We therefore introduce
+__genl_const, which can be defined depending on the kernel.
