datapath: Revert "datapath: Constify netlink structs."

This reverts commit 2023bdc. This commit is causing segfaults when genl compat code is in use. Compat code update genl_multicast_group and genl_family type objects. Therefore these can not be const. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <[email protected]> Acked-by: Joe Stringer <[email protected]>
