net: handle multi-part netlink responses

Handle multi-part netlink responses to prevent truncated results from
large routing tables.

Previously, we only made a single recv call, which led to incomplete
results when the kernel split the message into multiple responses (which
happens frequently with NLM_F_DUMP).

Also guard against a potential hanging issue where the code would
indefinitely wait for NLMSG_DONE for non-multi-part responses by
detecting the NLM_F_MULTI flag and only continue waiting when necessary.
