[NETLINK]: Add notification message sending interface

Adds nlmsg_notify() implementing proper notification logic. The
message is multicasted to all listeners in the group. The
applications the requests orignates from can request a unicast
back report in which case said socket will be excluded from the
multicast to avoid duplicated notifications.

nlmsg_multicast() is extended to take allocation flags to
allow notification in atomic contexts.
