Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 3/5] rtnl: add helper to send if skb is not null

This is a convenience helper for routines handling conditional rtnl
events, that is code that might send a notification depending on
rtnl_has_listeners/rtnl_notify_needed.

Instead of:
   if (skb)
      rtnetlink_send(...)

Use:
      rtnetlink_maybe_send(...)
