Subject: [PATCH 4/5] unify netlink kernel socket recognition

There are currently two ways to determine whether the netlink socket is a
kernel one or a user one. This patch creates a single inline call for
this purpose and unifies all the calls in the af_netlink.c

No similar calls are found outside af_netlink.c.
