In current ctnetlink_parse_tuple_ip() function, nested parsing and
validation is splitting as two parts, which could be cleanup to a
simplified form. As the nla_parse_nested_deprecated function
supports validation in the fly. These two finially reach same place
__nla_validate_parse with same validate flag.
nla_parse_nested_deprecated
__nla_parse(.., NL_VALIDATE_LIBERAL, ..)
__nla_validate_parse
nla_validate_nested_deprecated
__nla_validate_nested(.., NL_VALIDATE_LIBERAL, ..)
__nla_validate
__nla_validate_parse
This commit removes the call to nla_validate_nested_deprecated and pass
cta_ip_nla_policy when do parsing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
