Generic netlink just got a framework to register multicast
groups. Use it.

I totally misunderstood how it should be with multicast groups
in generic netlink, but it wasn't really done well in any case.
Please apply this patch as soon as you get the generic netlink multicast
I just sent to davem. If you want I can also ping you once they make it
in.
