rust: net: netlink: Migrate to zerocopy's IntoBytes

Browse source

Replace the kernel's own `transmute::FromBytes` and `AsBytes` traits
with their zerocopy equivalents. Specifically, this updates
`GenlMsg::put` to rely on `IntoBytes` for converting attributes into
byte slices.

Also, add `Immutable` trait bound on `GenlMsg::put` as zerocopy
splits the `no interior mutability` guarantee that `AsBytes` bundled
together.
