Command status replies.
======================
Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd
structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same
as request message except that length parameters do not account for data
requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain
data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size
of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum
of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd).
If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have
w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg
structires.
w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value
(EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success.
All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the
request message (except lengths as described above).
Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the
w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures,
reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg.
All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg,
even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing.
Operation steps in w1 core when new command is received.
