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. Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth <davids@redhat.com>
