[NETLINK]: Improve string attribute validation
Introduces a new attribute type NLA_NUL_STRING to support NUL terminated strings. Attributes of this kind require to carry a terminating NUL within the maximum specified in the policy. The `old' NLA_STRING which is not required to be NUL terminated is extended to provide means to specify a maximum length of the string. Aims at easing the pain with using nla_strlcpy() on temporary buffers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
