Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 2/2] utils: extract CTRL_ATTR_MAXATTR and save it

mnlu_gen_socket_open opens a socket and configures it for use with a
generic netlink family. As part of this process it sends a
CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY to get the ID for the family name requested.

In addition to the family id, this command reports a few other useful
values including the maximum attribute. The maximum attribute is useful in
order to know whether a given attribute is supported and for knowing the
necessary size to allocate for other operations such as policy dumping.

Since we already have to issue a CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY to get the id, we can
also store the maximum attribute as well. Modify the callback functions to
parse the maximum attribute NLA and store it in the mnlu_gen_socket
structure.
