NL_SET_ERR_MSG and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_MOD are used to report extended error responses about failure of a netlink command. These strings often end up going over the 80-column limit. Just like logging messages, it is preferred to leave the message all on a single line.
Add these to the exception list so that checkpatch.pl will no longer complain about the long lines due to use of these macros.
