Subject: [PATCH net-next v1] vlan: skip nested type that is not IFLA_VLAN_QOS_MAPPING

In the vlan_changelink function, a loop is used to parse the nested
attributes IFLA_VLAN_EGRESS_QOS and IFLA_VLAN_INGRESS_QOS in order to
obtain the struct ifla_vlan_qos_mapping. These two nested attributes are
checked in the vlan_validate_qos_map function, which calls
nla_validate_nested_deprecated with the vlan_map_policy.

However, this deprecated validator applies a LIBERAL strictness, allowing
the presence of an attribute with the type IFLA_VLAN_QOS_UNSPEC.
Consequently, the loop in vlan_changelink may parse an attribute of type
IFLA_VLAN_QOS_UNSPEC and believe it carries a payload of
struct ifla_vlan_qos_mapping, which is not necessarily true.

To address this issue and ensure compatibility, this patch introduces two
type checks that skip attributes whose type is not IFLA_VLAN_QOS_MAPPING.
