[PATCH 1/2] rtnetlink: use nlmsg_{multicast, unicast} instead of netlink_{broadcast,unicast}

From: Yajun Deng <hidden>
Date: 2021-07-13 12:37:37
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

It has a 'NETLINK_CB(' statement in nlmsg_multicast() and has 'if (err'
in nlmsg_{multicast, unicast}, use nlmsg_{multicast, unicast} instead
of netlink_{broadcast,unicast}. so the caller would not deal with the
'if (err >0 )' statement. Add the return value for nlmsg_multicast.
As also, rename rtnetlink_send() to rtnl_send(), this makes style
uniform.
