1) If there's no enough room in the netlink skbuff, then we have a size

    PRINTR macro now that this is unused.

2) Cancel the netlink message that didn't fit into the skbuff, so we still
    have the chance to deliver what is already included in the batch.

3) Don't increment inst->qlen inconditionally. Otherwise, this will not
    show the real number of messages in the log batch on error.

I would prefer if we freed the skbuff if __build_package_message failed, so that the next one is allocated with other params.

Also, if it's the first message, we may fire the timer for delivering an empty message, as the timer is going to be scheduled and inst->skb is still there.

Maybe with:

but that still wouldn't force a flush if __build_packet_message() failed..

Other than that, set looks great to me. Thanks Pablo!
