We soon want to add for sock_diag(7) netlink sockets. Those reuse the same message type codes for request and response but with different message formats. Hence we need to look at NLM_F_REQUEST to determine which message policy to apply. Hence it is essential to know the flags parameters right away when creating a message, since we cannot do early validation otherwise. This only adds support for setting the flags value right at the moment of creation of the message object, it does not otherwise add sock_diag(7) support, that is added in a later message. This also corrects the flag for synthetic NLMSG_ERROR messages which should not have the NLM_F_REQUEST flag set (since they are responses, not requests).
