Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/13] netlink: specs: rt-route: remove the fixed members from attrs

The purpose of the attribute list is to list the attributes
which will be included in a given message to shrink the objects
for families with huge attr spaces. Fixed structs are always
present in their entirety so there's no point in listing
their members. Current C codegen doesn't expect them and
tries to look up the names in the attribute space.
