netlink: remove the flex array from struct nlmsghdr

I've added a flex array to struct nlmsghdr in
commit 738136a0 ("netlink: split up copies in the ack construction")
to allow accessing the data easily. It leads to warnings with clang,
if user space wraps this structure into another struct and the flex
array is not at the end of the container.
