genetlink: introduce helpers to do filtered multicast

Currently it is possible for netlink kernel user to pass custom
filter function to broadcast send function netlink_broadcast_filtered().
However, this is not exposed to multicast send and to generic
netlink users.

Extend the api and introduce a netlink helper nlmsg_multicast_filtered()
and a generic netlink helper genlmsg_multicast_netns_filtered()
to allow generic netlink families to specify filter function
while sending multicast messages.
