Subject: [PATCH v4 net 0/6] rtnetlink: Handle error of rtnl_register_module().

While converting phonet to per-netns RTNL, I found a weird comment

  /* Further rtnl_register_module() cannot fail */

that was true but no longer true after commit addf9b90de22 ("net:
rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers").

Many callers of rtnl_register_module() just ignore the returned
value but should handle them properly.

This series introduces two helpers, rtnl_register_many() and
rtnl_unregister_many(), to do that easily and fix such callers.

All rtnl_register() and rtnl_register_module() will be converted
to _many() variant and some rtnl_lock() will be saved in _many()
later in net-next.
