genetlink: introduce split op representation
We currently have two forms of operations - small ops and "full" ops (or just ops). The former does not have pointers for some of the less commonly used features (namely dump start/done and policy). The "full" ops, however, still don't contain all the necessary information. In particular the policy is per command ID, while do and dump often accept different attributes. It's also not possible to define different pre_doit and post_doit callbacks for different commands within the family. At the same time a lot of commands do not support dumping and therefore all the dump-related information is wasted space. Create a new command representation which can hold info about a do implementation or a dump implementation, but not both at the same time. Use this new representation on the command execution path (genl_family_rcv_msg) as we either run a do or a dump and don't have to create a "full" op there.
