[NETLINK]: Add properly module refcounting for kernel netlink sockets.

- Remove bogus code for compiling netlink as module
- Add module refcounting support for modules implementing a netlink
  protocol
- Add support for autoloading modules that implement a netlink protocol
  as soon as someone opens a socket for that protocol
