Reduce the NETLINK pointer complexity

Make the NETLINK connection pointer and user counter
local global variables inside netlink.c only.  Where NETLINK
calls via libnl is required, rather use get_nlc() to get a
NETLINK connection.

This also prepares the next step, to get rid of the
struct etherinfo_obj_data wrapper.
