LU-10003 lnet: use Netlink to support old and new NI APIs.
The LNet layer uses two different sets of ioctls. One ioctl set is
for Multi-Rail and the other is an older API. Both are in heavy
use and with the upcoming support for IPv6 we are looking at an
explosion of ioctls. The solution is to move the LNet layer to
Netlink which can easily handle all the differences between the
APIs. This also resolves a long standing issue of the user land
API constantly changing in a non-compatible way with previous
versions.
This patch unifies the handling the LNet NI to use Netlink and is
fully aware of the new large NID addressing.
