The NLM_F_ACK flag is ignored for nfnetlink batch begin and end
messages. This is a problem for ynl which wants to receive an ack for
every message it sends, not just the commands in between the begin/end
messages.
Add processing for ACKs for begin/end messages and provide responses
when requested.
I have checked that iproute2, pyroute2 and systemd are unaffected by
this change since none of them use NLM_F_ACK for batch begin/end.
