nft_mnl_socket_reopen() was introduced to deal with the EINTR case.
By reopening the netlink socket, pending netlink messages that are part
part of a stale netlink dump are implicitly drop. This patch replaces
the nft_mnl_socket_reopen() strategy by pulling out all of the remaining
netlink message to restart in a clean state.
This is implicitly fixing up a bug in the table ownership support, which
assumes that the netlink socket remains open until nft_ctx_free() is
invoked.
