genetlink: Introduce genl_register_family_with_ops()

occurrences in following patches.

* @n_ops: number of elements to register
*
* Registers the specified family and operations from the specified table.
* Only one family may be registered with the same family name or identifier.
*
* The family id may equal GENL_ID_GENERATE causing an unique id to
* be automatically generated and assigned.
*
* Either a doit or dumpit callback must be specified for every registered
* operation or the function will fail. Only one operation structure per
* command identifier may be registered.
*
* See include/net/genetlink.h for more documenation on the operations
* structure.
*
* This is equivalent to calling genl_register_family() followed by
* genl_register_ops() for every operation entry in the table taking
* care to unregister the family on error path.
*
* Return 0 on success or a negative error code.
