rtnetlink: Panic when __rtnl_register_many() fails for builtin callers.
We will replace all rtnl_register() and rtnl_register_module() with rtnl_register_many(). Currently, rtnl_register() returns nothing and prints an error message when it fails to register a rtnetlink message type and handlers. The failure happens only when rtnl_register_internal() fails to allocate rtnl_msg_handlers[protocol][msgtype], but it's unlikely for built-in callers on boot time. rtnl_register_many() unwinds the previous successful registrations on failure and returns an error, but it will be useless for built-in callers, especially some subsystems that do not have the legacy ioctl() interface and do not work without rtnetlink. Instead of booting up without rtnetlink functionality, let's panic on failure for built-in rtnl_register_many() callers.
