Allow netlink sockets to send to RTMGRP_LINK
sendmsg() to the multicast group now works. connect() is still disallowed.
This patch also reduces the length for which a netlink socket's mu is held.
Previously, once it was taken in Socket.sendMsg(), it was held throughout
Protocol.Receive() -> Socket.ProcessMessages() -> Socket.SendResponse().
When in fact the only field it was needed for was Socket.portID.
