Remove listeners from per-cpu listener lists only if they've closed the
socket (resulting in an ECONNREFUSED failure of genetlink unicast).
For other errors returned by genlmsg_unicast like -EAGAIN which results
from the receiver's buffer having insufficient space, userspace gets an
ENOBUF warning and the kernel can continue.
