netem predates the netlink extended ack mechanism and uses pr_info()
to report configuration errors. These messages go to the kernel log
where the user running tc may never see them, and in unprivileged
user namespace contexts they can be used for log spam.

Replace pr_info() with NL_SET_ERR_MSG() and NL_SET_ERR_MSG_FMT()
which return error details to the caller via netlink. Thread the
extack pointer through parse_attr() and get_loss_clg(). Remove
the uninformative "netem: change failed" message from netem_init()
since the error is already propagated.
