Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] netlink: create a new header for internal genetlink symbols

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2024 10:34:56 -0800

There are things in linux/genetlink.h which are only used
under net/netlink/. Move them to a new local header.
A new header with just 2 externs isn't great, but alternative
would be to include af_netlink.h in genetlink.c which feels
even worse.
