/**
 * Create file descriptor and bind socket.
 * @arg sk		Netlink socket (required)
 * @arg protocol	Netlink protocol to use (required)
 *
 * Creates a new Netlink socket using `socket()` and binds the socket to the
 * protocol and local port specified in the `sk` socket object. Fails if
 * the socket is already connected.
 *
 * @note If available, the `close-on-exec` (`SOCK_CLOEXEC`) feature is enabled
 *       automatically on the new file descriptor. This causes the socket to
 *       be closed automatically if any of the `exec` family functions succeed.
 *       This is essential for multi threaded programs.
 *
 * @note The local port (`nl_socket_get_local_port()`) is unspecified after
 *       creating a new socket. It only gets determined when accessing the
 *       port the first time or during `nl_connect()`. When nl_connect()
 *       fails during `bind()` due to `ADDRINUSE`, it will retry with
 *       different ports if the port is unspecified. Unless you want to enforce
 *       the use of a specific local port, don't access the local port (or
 *       reset it to `unspecified` by calling `nl_socket_set_local_port(sk, 0)`).
 *       This capability is indicated by
 *       `%NL_CAPABILITY_NL_CONNECT_RETRY_GENERATE_PORT_ON_ADDRINUSE`.
 *
 * @note nl_connect() creates and sets the file descriptor. You can setup the file
 *       descriptor yourself by creating and binding it, and then calling
 *       nl_socket_set_fd(). The result will be the same.
 *
 * @see nl_socket_alloc()
 * @see nl_close()
 * @see nl_socket_set_fd()
 *
 * @return 0 on success or a negative error code.
