[PATCH 1/3] rust: net: netlink: Migrate to zerocopy's `IntoBytes`

Replace remaning imports of kernel's own `transmute::FromBytes`/`AsBytes`
traits with their zerocopy equvalent. In this case, `IntoBytes` which is
already re-exported through kernel's prelude.

It seems you wrote the first one by hand? There are two typos there.

Thanks!

Sorry, I missed that while checking. Let me send a V2. Also, are there any other changes I should make ?
