This patch series gets rid of all uses of NLA_PUT*() and then kills
the definitions of those macros from netlink.h

For the most part, I've tried to do just a straight conversion of:

	NLA_PUT*(...);

to

	if (nla_put*(...))
		goto nla_put_failure;

However in several cases I've tried to make things look more
reasonable, for example:

	if (val)
		NLA_PUT*();

becomes:

	if (val &&
	    nla_put*())
		goto nla_put_failure;

multiple consequetive puts get combined into one if() statement, like:

	if (nla_put_u32(...) ||
	    nla_put_string(...))
		goto nla_put_failure;

One thing I have not done is try to get rid of the nla_put_failure
label, even in the really simply cases.  That's another cleanup
altogether, but I will not that some cases can be reduced down to
nothing more than:

	return nla_put*(...);

Throughout the series, as new (lowercase) nla_put*() intefaces were
needed, I added them, right before the first commit to make use of
them.

Examples are nla_put_be*(), nlaa_put_net*(), and nla_put_le*().

These are the first commits that will show up in net-next when I open
it up.
