[PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] netlink: introduce type-checking attribute iteration for nlmsg

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit 42401c42389622424f2973ec57414f033ae6be8f ]

Add the nlmsg_for_each_attr_type() macro to simplify iteration over
attributes of a specific type in a Netlink message.

Convert existing users in vxlan and nfsd to use the new macro.
