genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes
We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.
One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.
To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.
