Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 02/15] neighbour: Move two validations from
 neigh_get() to neigh_valid_get_req().

We will remove RTNL for neigh_get() and run it under RCU instead.

neigh_get() returns -EINVAL in the following cases:

  * NDA_DST is not specified
  * Both ndm->ndm_ifindex and NTF_PROXY are not specified

These validations do not require RCU.

Let's move them to neigh_valid_get_req().

While at it, the extack string for the first case is replaced with
NL_SET_ERR_ATTR_MISS().

Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@...gle.com>

v3: Use NL_SET_ERR_ATTR_MISS() for NDA_DST
