libnl: enhance API to ease 64bit alignment for attribute
Here is a proposal to add more helpers in the libnetlink to manage 64-bit
alignment issues.
Note that this series was only tested on x86 by tweeking
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS and adding some traces.
The first patch adds helpers for 64bit alignment and other patches
use them.
We could also add helpers for nla_put_u64() and its variants if needed.
v1 -> v2:
- remove patch #1
- split patch #2 (now #1 and #2)
- add nla_need_padding_for_64bit()
