[NETLINK] Routing attribute related shortcuts

 RTA_GET_U(32|64)(tlv)
   Assumes TLV is a u32/u64 field and returns its value.

 RTA_GET_[M]SECS(tlv)
   Assumes TLV is a u64 and transports jiffies converted
   to seconds or milliseconds and returns its value.

 RTA_PUT_U(32|64)(skb, type, value)
   Appends %value as fixed u32/u64 to %skb as TLV %type.

 RTA_PUT_[M]SECS(skb, type, jiffies)
   Converts %jiffies to secs/msecs and appends it as u64
   to %skb as TLV %type.

 RTA_PUT_STRING(skb, type, string)
   Appends %NUL terminated %string to %skb as TLV %type.

 RTA_NEST(skb, type)
   Starts a nested TLV %type and returns the nesting handle.

 RTA_NEST_END(skb, nesting_handle)
   Finishes the nested TLV %nesting_handle, must be called
   symmetric to RTA_NEST(). Returns skb->len

 RTA_NEST_CANCEL(skb, nesting_handle)
   Cancel the nested TLV %nesting_handle and trim nested TLV
   from skb again, returns -1.
