Subject: rtnetlink: add IFLA_GROUP to ifla_policy
From: Serhey Popovych <serhe.popovych@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit db833d40ad3263b2ee3b59a1ba168bb3cfed8137 ]
Network interface groups support added while ago, however
there is no IFLA_GROUP attribute description in policy
and netlink message size calculations until now.
Add IFLA_GROUP attribute to the policy.
Fixes: cbda10fa97d7 ("net_device: add support for network device groups")
