This change introduces a few helpers to wrap open coded attribute
preparation in netlink.c.

Every nested attribute's closure must happen using the helper
nlattr_end_nested, which sets its length properly. NLA_F_NESTED is
enforeced using nlattr_begin_nested helper. Other simple attributes
can be added directly.

The maxsz parameter corresponds to the size of the request structure
which is being filled in, so for instance with req being:

struct {
	struct nlmsghdr nh;
	struct tcmsg t;
	char buf[4096];
} req;

Then, maxsz should be sizeof(req).

This change also converts the open coded attribute preparation with the
helpers. Note that the only failure the internal call to nlattr_add
could result in the nested helper would be -EMSGSIZE, hence that is what
we return to our caller.
