[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.
