Hi Dave,

The QCA folks found another netlink problem - we were missing validation
of some attributes. It's not super problematic since one can only read a
few bytes beyond the message (and that memory must exist), but here's the
fix for it.

I thought perhaps we can make nla_parse_nested() require a policy, but
given the two-stage validation/parsing in regular netlink that won't work.

Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes
