Make sure that we read the current value.

Yes, I think spreading them make code clean, and we can keep ABI
compatibility if we have more than one interface. If we want to change
one knob, we can change itself functions and data structures. Also, it
makes userspace tools easy to maintainer. TCP's procfs, like /proc/net/netstat,
is a summary knob, but not easy to parse and extend. Given that we
choose modern netlink, we can avoid it from the beginning.
