[NETFILTER]: nfnetlink: parse attributes with nfattr_parse in nfnetlink_check_attribute
Use nfattr_parse to parse attributes, this patch also modifies the default behaviour since unknown attributes will be ignored instead of returning EINVAL. This ensure backward compatibility: new libraries with new attributes and old kernels can work.
