Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6/addrconf: only check invalid header values when NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK is set

In patch 4b1373de73a3 ("net: ipv6: addr: perform strict checks also for doit
handlers") we add strict check for inet6_rtm_getaddr(). But we did the
invalid header values check before checking if NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK is
set. This may break backwards compatibility if user already set the
ifm->ifa_prefixlen, ifm->ifa_flags, ifm->ifa_scope in their netlink code.

I didn't move the nlmsg_len check becuase I thought it's a valid check.
