The same patch, but

	- do not add 'BUG()' to the error path, Balbir and Shailabh
	  disagree.

	- use '?:' in mk_reply as Balbir suggested.

Add a check for 'na == NULL' (this can't happen unless we mis-calculated
the size).

Remove 'genlmsg_cancel()' calls and 'void *reply' (saves 227 bytes).

Change mk_reply() to use '?:'.
