[PATCH 1/6] netlink: Move netlink attribute parsing support to lib/

[Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com>]

Netlink attribute parsing may be used even if CONFIG_NET is not set.
Move it from net/netlink to lib and control its inclusion based on the new
config symbol CONFIG_NLATTR, which is selected by CONFIG_NET.
