Subject: [PATCH] netlink: connector: implement cn_netlink_reply

In a connector callback, it was not possible to reply to a message only to a
sender. This patch implements cn_netlink_reply(). It uses the connector socket
to send an unicast netlink message back to the sender.

The following pseudo-code can be used from a connector callback:

        struct cn_msg *cn_reply;
        cn_reply = kzalloc(sizeof(struct cn_msg)
                + sizeof(struct ..._nl_cfg_reply), GFP_KERNEL);

        cn_reply->id = msg->id;
        cn_reply->seq = msg->seq;
        cn_reply->ack = msg->ack  + 1;
        cn_reply->len = sizeof(struct ..._nl_cfg_reply);
        cn_reply->flags = 0;

        rr = cn_netlink_reply(cn_reply, nsp->pid, GFP_KERNEL);
