Same as the attr, it just reserves zero FWIW, never actually used in
the code I've grepped:

linux$ git grep FOU_CMD_UNSPEC
include/uapi/linux/fou.h:       FOU_CMD_UNSPEC,

iproute2$ git grep FOU_CMD_UNSPEC
include/uapi/linux/fou.h:       FOU_CMD_UNSPEC,

BTW thanks for asking, I noticed I mistyped the documentation,
type is 'unused', in the docs I said 'unspec'.
