Not parse, just validate. Policy can be NULL, then nla_validate
basically only checks nla_ok(). But my previous suggestion to call 
nla_validate_nested_deprecated() would not work, we'd need 
__nla_validate(NL_VALIDATE_TRAILING), so yeah, maybe that's more
complex for a read to understand than just calling nla_ok()...
