Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 06/13] macsec: use NLA_UINT for MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN

MACSEC_SA_ATTR_PN is either a u32 or a u64, we can now use NLA_UINT
for this instead of a custom binary type. We can then use a min check
within the policy.

We need to keep the length checks done in macsec_{add,upd}_{rx,tx}sa
based on whether the device is set up for XPN (with 64b PNs instead of
32b).

On the dump side, keep the existing custom code as userspace may
expect a u64 when using XPN, and nla_put_uint may only output a u32
attribute if the value fits.
