nfc: netlink: Add capability to reply to vendor_cmd with data
A proprietary vendor command may send back useful data to the user
application.
For example, the field level applied on the NFC router antenna.
Still based on net/wireless/nl80211.c implementation,
add nfc_vendor_cmd_alloc_reply_skb and nfc_vendor_cmd_reply in
order to send back over netlink data generated by a proprietary
command.

+ * which can then read that data out of the vendor data attribute.
+ * You must not modify the skb in any other way.
+ *
+ * When done, call nfc_vendor_cmd_reply() with the skb and return
