Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] genetlink: fit NLMSG_DONE into same read() as families

Make sure ctrl_fill_info() returns sensible error codes and
propagate them out to netlink core. Let netlink core decide
when to return skb->len and when to treat the exit as an
error. Netlink core does better job at it, if we always
return skb->len the core doesn't know when we're done
dumping and NLMSG_DONE ends up in a separate read().
