I took your patch, converted it to use NLMSG_NEW and finished
converting all the modules that you started. Yet unconverted
are: netfilter, net/sched/ tcp_diag, xfrm, kernel/audit.

I also fixed some uses of NL_CREDS() to fetch the pid for
message generation which is wrong. Various dumping procedures
did not set the multi flag at all, I fixed all of them.

Do not apply these patches yet, they're way too intrusive
