  A callback parameter to process replies will be useful for subsequent work
in this area. It implies the following:

- Replies may be much larger than requests. In fact their size cannot
  really be known in advance. Using MNL_SOCKET_BUFFER_SIZE (at least 8192
  bytes) is the recommended approach to make truncation less likely (look
  for NLMSG_GOODSIZE in Linux).

- Multipart replies are made of several messages. A loop is needed to
  process these.

- In case of truncated message (since one cannot really be sure),
  its remaining parts must be flushed to prevent their reception by
  subsequent queries.

- Using rte_get_tsc_cycles() instead of random() for message sequence
  numbers is faster yet unlikely to pick the same number twice in a row.

- mlx5_nl_flow_init() can be simplified since the query message is never
  written over (it was already the case actually).
