example: netlink crate

Not sure if it's appropriate, but I think it's kinda cool to show that smol works with netlink sockets out of the box too.

Feel free to close.

I don't know smol, so I have to ask: how/why does that work? netlink-sys is currently only compatible with tokio. I actually have an issue open for making the crate compatible with other runtimes: little-dude/netlink#77

I mean, is let mut socket = Async::new(socket)?; really the only thing to do that have it working? 🤯

[polachok]

@little-dude yes! smol only requires AsRawFd to insert socket into reactor and then you register interest in events by using read_with_*/write_with_* methods. You can think of Async as PollEvented in tokio land, but nicer, no need for wrappers any more.

Very cool!
