[NETLINK]: Generic netlink receive queue processor

Introduces netlink_run_queue() to handle the receive queue of
a netlink socket in a generic way. Processes as much as there
was in the queue upon entry and invokes a callback function
for each netlink message found. The callback function may
refuse a message by returning a negative error code but setting
the error pointer to 0 in which case netlink_run_queue() will
return with a qlen != 0.
