[PATCH rdma-next V1 0/5] Refactor RDMA netlink infrastructure

[Leon Romanovsky <leon-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

The following patch set is a preparation to addition of
netlink handlers to support RDMA tool. It simplifies the code,
removes useless client infrastructure, concentrates netlink validity
checks and allows future patches to remove a lot of dead code
from iwcm* code base (all operations related to nl_clients).

It is based on already sent to the mailing list patch [1]
"Revert "IB/core: Add flow control to the portmapper netlink calls""

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9752865/

Changelog v0->v1:
 * Moved to separate topic from rdmatool.
 Patch #1:
  * Add check to catch already initialized callback table to avoid
    double registration of the same protocol.
  * Rewrite the validity check to use array instead of switch().
