netlink: provide an ability to set default extack message
In netdev common pattern, extack pointer is forwarded to the drivers
to be filled with error message. However, the caller can easily
overwrite the filled message.
Instead of adding multiple "if (!extack->_msg)" checks before any
NL_SET_ERR_MSG() call, which appears after call to the driver, let's
add new macro to common code.
