Subject: [PATCH 1/1] connector: use nlmsg_put() instead of NLMSG_PUT() macro.

The NLMSG_PUT() macro contains a hidden goto which makes the code hard
to audit and very error prone.

While been there also use the inline function nlmsg_data() instead of the
NLMSG_DATA() macro to do explicit type checking.
