Jakub Kicinski 690252f19f netlink: add support for ext_ack missing attributes
There is currently no way to report via extack in a structured way
that an attribute is missing. This leads to families resorting to
string messages.

Add a pair of attributes - @offset and @type for machine-readable
way of reporting missing attributes. The @offset points to the
nest which should have contained the attribute, @type is the
expected nla_type. The offset will be skipped if the attribute
is missing at the message level rather than inside a nest.

User space should be able to figure out which attribute enum
(AKA attribute space AKA attribute set) the nest pointed to by
@offset is using.
