netlink-socket: Let the kernel choose Netlink pids for us.

The Netlink code in the Linux kernel has been willing to choose unique
Netlink pids for userspace sockets since at least 2.4.36 and probably
earlier.  There's no value in choosing them ourselves.

This simplifies the code and eliminates the possibility of exhausting our
supply of Netlink PIDs.
