Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] netkit: two minor cleanups

Hi,
This set does two minor cleanups mentioned by Jiri. The first patch
removes explicit NULLing of primary/peer pointers and relies on the
implicit mem zeroing done at net device alloc. The second patch switches
netkit's mode and primary/peer policy netlink attributes to use
NLA_POLICY_VALIDATE_FN() type and sets the custom validate function to
return better user errors. This way netlink's policy is used to validate
the attributes and simplifies the code a bit. No functional changes are
intended.

Thanks,
 Nik

  netkit: remove explicit active/peer ptr initialization
  netkit: use netlink policy for mode and policy attributes validation
