genetlink: Introduce genl_register_family_with_ops()
This introduces genl_register_family_with_ops() that registers a genetlink
family along with operations from a table. This is used to kill copy'n'paste
occurrences in following patches.

+ * The family id may equal GENL_ID_GENERATE causing an unique id to

+ *
+ * See include/net/genetlink.h for more documenation on the operations
+ * structure.
+ *
+ * This is equivalent to calling genl_register_family() followed by
+ * genl_register_ops() for every operation entry in the table taking
+ * care to unregister the family on error path.
+ *
+ * Return 0 on success or a negative error code.
