Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 0/3] genetlink: remove linux/genetlink.h

There are two genetlink headers net/genetlink.h and linux/genetlink.h
This is similar to netlink.h, but for netlink.h both contain good
amount of code. For genetlink.h the linux/ version is leftover
from before uAPI headers were split out, it has 10 lines of code.
Move those 10 lines into other appropriate headers and delete
linux/genetlink.h.

I occasionally open the wrong header in the editor when coding,
I guess I'm not the only one.

v3:
 - fix Andy's nits on patch 3
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240325173716.2390605-1-kuba@kernel.org/
