Add NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket support
NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT sockets send udev-style messages for device events. gVisor doesn't have any device events, so our sockets don't need to do anything once created. systemd's device manager needs to be able to create one of these sockets. It also wants to install a BPF filter on the socket. Since we'll never send any messages, the filter would never be invoked, thus we just fake it out. Fixes #1117 Updates #1119 PiperOrigin-RevId: 278405893
