From: Lin Ma <linma@xxxxxxxxxx>
In current ctnetlink_parse_tuple_ip() function, nested parsing and
validation is splitting as two parts, which could be cleanup to a
simplified form. As the nla_parse_nested_deprecated function
supports validation in the fly. These two finially reach same place
__nla_validate_parse with same validate flag.
nla_parse_nested_deprecated
__nla_parse(.., NL_VALIDATE_LIBERAL, ..)
__nla_validate_parse
nla_validate_nested_deprecated
__nla_validate_nested(.., NL_VALIDATE_LIBERAL, ..)
__nla_validate
__nla_validate_parse
This commit removes the call to nla_validate_nested_deprecated and pass
cta_ip_nla_policy when do parsing.
