It has a 'NETLINK_CB(' statement in nlmsg_multicast() and has 'if (err'
in nlmsg_{multicast, unicast}, use nlmsg_{multicast, unicast} instead
of netlink_{broadcast,unicast}. so the caller would not deal with the
'if (err >0 )' statement. Add the return value for nlmsg_multicast.
As also, rename rtnetlink_send() to rtnl_send(), this makes style
uniform.

You also moved this refcount_inc() down after nlmsg_multicast().
Are you sure it is safe?

And the name rtnl_send() is bad given that rtnl_unicast() follows it...

Thanks.
