The attributes array `tb` in ib_nl_is_good_resolve_resp is never used
after the parsing. Therefore use nla_validate_deprecated function here
for improvement.

To my concern, the nla_validate_deprecated, compared to nla_parse_deprecated,
will at lease save a memset in function nla_parse_deprecated
```
if (tb)
memset(tb, 0, sizeof(struct nlattr *) * (maxtype + 1));
```
Morever, because the `nla_validate_deprecated` just validate the attributes
array and will not try to retrieve the nla pointers. It shall be faster
and cleaner here :D.

Lin

We don't care about speed in this path.
Let's leave the code as is.
Thanks
