netlink: add netlink_skb_set_owner_r()
For mmap'ed I/O a netlink specific skb destructor needs to be invoked after the final kfree_skb() to clean up state. This doesn't work currently since the skb's ownership is transfered to the receiving socket using skb_set_owner_r(), which orphans the skb, thereby invoking the destructor prematurely. Since netlink doesn't account skbs to the originating socket, there's no need to orphan the skb. Add a netlink specific skb_set_owner_r() variant that does not orphan the skb and use a netlink specific destructor to call sock_rfree().
