genetlink: remove linux/genetlink.h
genetlink.h is a shell of what used to be a combined uAPI
and kernel header over a decade ago. It has fewer than
10 lines of code. Merge it into net/genetlink.h.
In some ways it'd be better to keep the combined header
under linux/ but it would make looking through git history
harder.
