[PATCH 4/7] netlink: combine validate/parse functions

[Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The parse function of course contains validate, but it's
implemented a second time, sharing just the validation
of a single attribute.

Introduce nla_validate_parse() that can be used for both
parsing/validation and only validation, to share code.
