rtnetlink: Add bulk registration helpers for rtnetlink message handlers.

Before commit addf9b90de22 ("net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message
handlers"), once rtnl_msg_handlers[protocol] was allocated, the following
rtnl_register_module() for the same protocol never failed.

However, after the commit, rtnl_msg_handler[protocol][msgtype] needs to
be allocated in each rtnl_register_module(), so each call could fail.

Many callers of rtnl_register_module() do not handle the returned error,
and we need to add many error handlings.

To handle that easily, let's add wrapper functions for bulk registration
of rtnetlink message handlers.
