Subject: [PATCH 2/2] netlink: Add NLA_F_NESTED flag to nested attribute

The mainline kernel v5.2 commit b424e432e770
("netlink: add validation of NLA_F_NESTED flag") imposes strict validation
against nested attribute as follow.

"
Add new validation flag NL_VALIDATE_NESTED which adds three consistency
checks of NLA_F_NESTED_FLAG:

- the flag is set on attributes with NLA_NESTED{,_ARRAY} policy
  - the flag is not set on attributes with other policies except NLA_UNSPEC
  - the flag is set on attribute passed to nla_parse_nested()
"

Sending messages with nested attribute without NLA_F_NESTED would cause failed
validation. For example,

$ drbdsetup new-resource r0
Invalid argument

This patch adds NLA_F_NESTED flag to all nested attributes.
