static inlines are generally not needed in C sources and just hide
unused code. Please drop the inline annotation.

returning a 48B struct from a helper is a little strange, but I guess
it's not too bad when compiler inlines the thing?

Not needed, REJECT is treated the same as 0 / uninit, right?

Consider using NLA_POLICY_NESTED() to link up the next layers.
