Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] genetlink: Add per family bind/unbind callbacks

Add genetlink family bind()/unbind() callbacks when adding/removing
multicast group to/from netlink client socket via setsockopt() or
bind() syscall.

They can be used to track if consumers of netlink multicast messages
emerge or disappear. Thus, a client implementing callbacks, can now
send events only when there are active consumers, preventing unnecessary
work when none exist.
