2a94fe48f3 genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse
Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
families that's just 0 because the only have one group.

This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.

At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
check that a family only uses a group it owns.

1c582d915d ieee802154: use genl_register_family_with_ops()
This simplifies the code since there's no longer a need to
have error handling in the registration.

Unfortunately it means more extern function declarations are
needed, but the overall goal would seem to justify this.

While at it, also fix the registration error path - if the
family registration failed then it shouldn't be unregistered.

78fe738d1a ieee802154: split away MAC commands implementation
Move all mac-related stuff to separate file so that ieee802154/netlink.c
contains only generic code.
