[NET_SCHED 00/15]: Make use of new netlink API features

[Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>]

Hi Dave,

these patches change the packet schedulers/classifers/actions to make use
of the features of the new netlink API, like typeful attribute dumping and
parsing, automatic basic attribute validation etc. The also fix a bug and
a warning introduced by my last set of patches.

Please apply, thanks.
