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

genetlink.h is a shell of what used to be a combined uAPI
and kernel header over a decade ago. It has fewer than
10 lines of code. Merge it into net/genetlink.h.
In some ways it'd be better to keep the combined header
under linux/ but it would make looking through git history
harder.

v3:
 - fix double space in a comment
v2:
 - remove extern
 - include linux/net.h
 - improve the comment, not "all" requests are serialized
