[NETLINK]: Do precise netlink message allocations where possible

Browse source

Account for the netlink message header size directly in nlmsg_new()
instead of relying on the caller calculate it correctly.

Replaces error handling of message construction functions when
constructing notifications with bug traps since a failure implies
a bug in calculating the size of the skb.
