Subject: [PATCH net 4/8] tools: ynl-gen: make sure we validate subtype of array-nest

ArrayNest AKA indexed-array support currently skips inner type
validation. We count the attributes and then we parse them,
make sure we call validate, too. Otherwise buggy / unexpected
kernel response may lead to crashes.

Fixes: be5bea1cc0bf ("net: add basic C code generators for Netlink")
