nl80211: Fix compilation with libnl 1.1 and 2.0

Browse source 
Unfortunately, libnl 3.0 has changed the API in a way that is not
backwards compatible by renaming nlmsg_len() to nlmsg_datalen() without
leaving the older nlmsg_len() defined. As such, there does not seem to
be any clean way of using this function without breaking the build with
some libnl versions. For now, replace this call with direct calculation
of the data length since it can be done with a simple one-liner that
compiles with all libnl versions.
