[NETLINK]: Avoid pointer in netlink_run_queue
I was looking at Patrick's fix to inet_diag and it occured to me that we're using a pointer argument to return values unnecessarily in netlink_run_queue. Changing it to return the value will allow the compiler to generate better code since the value won't have to be memory-backed.
