Adds:
nlmsg_get_pos() return current position in message
nlmsg_trim() trim part of message
nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len) reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr
nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data) add attribute w/o hdr
nla_find_nested() find attribute in nested attributes
Fixes nlmsg_new() to take allocation flags and consider size.
