netlink-socket: Always pass the output buffer in a transaction.
We need to pass down the output buffer so that the kernel can return
transaction status - error or otherwise.
Also, we were processing the output buffer only when when
'txn->reply != NULL' ie when the caller specified an ofpbuf for the
reply. In this patch, the code has been updated to process the reply
unconditionally, but making sure to copy the reply to the 'txn->reply'
only when it is not NULL. The reason for the unconditional processing is
we can pass up transactional errors in 'txn->error'. Otherwise, it
results in an endless loop of calling nl_transact().
