libnl: nla_put_be64(): align on a 64-bit area
nla_data() is now aligned on a 64-bit area. A temporary version (nla_put_be64_32bit()) is added for nla_put_net64(). This function is removed in the next patch. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
