filter: add SKF_AD_NLATTR_NEST to look for nested attributes
SKF_AD_NLATTR allows us to find the first matching attribute in a
stream of netlink attributes from one offset to the end of the
netlink message. This is not suitable to look for a specific
matching inside a set of nested attributes.
For example, in ctnetlink messages, if we look for the CTA_V6_SRC
attribute in a message that talks about an IPv4 connection,
SKF_AD_NLATTR returns the offset of CTA_STATUS which has the same
value of CTA_V6_SRC but outside the nest. To differenciate
CTA_STATUS and CTA_V6_SRC, we would have to make assumptions on the
size of the attribute and the usual offset, resulting in horrible
BSF code.
This patch adds SKF_AD_NLATTR_NEST, which is a variant of
SKF_AD_NLATTR, that looks for an attribute inside the limits of
a nested attributes, but not further.
This patch validates that we have enough room to look for the
nested attributes - based on a suggestion from Patrick McHardy.
