netlink: make socket filters work on netlink

Browse source

Make socket filters work for netlink unicast and notifications.
This is useful for applications like Zebra that get overrun with
messages that are then ignored.

Note: netlink messages are in host byte order, but packet filter
state machine operations are done as network byte order.
