netlink: Fix nla_parse_nested_compat() to call nla_parse() directly
The purpose of nla_parse_nested_compat() is to parse attributes which contain a struct followed by a stream of nested attributes. So far, it called nla_parse_nested() to parse the stream of nested attributes which was wrong, as nla_parse_nested() expects a container attribute as data which holds the attribute stream. It needs to call nla_parse() directly while pointing at the next possible alignment point after the struct in the beginning of the attribute. With this patch, I can no longer reproduce the reported leftover warnings. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Acked-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
