netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option
This patch adds NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR which is a netlink
socket option that the listener can set to make netlink_broadcast()
return errors in the delivery to the caller. This option is useful
if the caller of netlink_broadcast() do something with the result
of the message delivery, like in ctnetlink where it drops a network
packet if the event delivery failed, this is used to enable reliable
logging and state-synchronization. If this socket option is not set,
netlink_broadcast() only reports ESRCH errors and silently ignore
ENOBUFS errors, which is what most netlink_broadcast() callers
should do.
This socket option is based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.
Patrick McHardy can exchange this patch for a beer from me ;).
