rGedf966085e44: netlink: allow creating sockets with SOCK_DGRAM.
rG0079d177ab69: netlink: allow creating sockets with SOCK_DGRAM.
Summary

Some existing applications setup Netlink socket with
SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW. Update the manpage to clarify
that the default way of creating the socket should be with
SOCK_RAW. Update the code to support both SOCK_RAW and SOCK_DGRAM.
