netlink: use "unsigned int" in nla_next()
->nla_len is unsigned entity (it's length after all) and u16,
thus it can't overflow when being aligned into int/unsigned int.
(nlmsg_next has the same code, but I didn't yet convince myself
it is correct to do so).
There is pointer arithmetic in this function and offset being
unsigned is better:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/64 up/down: 5/-309 (-304)
