    netlink: add helper for dissecting an array of attributes
    
    From https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/generic_netlink_howto
    "Arrays can be represented by using a single nested attribute as a
    container with several of the same attribute type inside each
    representing a spot in the array."
    
    This patch adds a helper function to dissect such a type (it will be
    used by Generic Netlink for CTRL_ATTR_OPS and CTRL_ATTR_MCAST_GROUPS).
