[PATCH iproute2-next v2 0/8] ip: Introduce and use get_addr_rta()/inet_addr_match_rta()

[Serhey Popovych <serhe.popovych@gmail.com>]

Now we enhance get_addr() to return additional
information about address (e.g. if it unspecified
or multicast) we want to have same functionality
for attributes in netlink message.

Introduce and use get_addr_rta() that parses
given netlink attribute into @inet_prefix
data structure in the same way similar get_addr()
parses address from it's string representation.

Use attribute length to guess address family:
force it by giving non AF_UNSPEC @family to
get_addr_rta() to ensure address is of expected
family.

Introduce and use inet_addr_match_rta() to further
simplify and unify code where get_addr_rta()
intended to be used together with inet_addr_match().

This is next step in ipv4 and ipv6 modules
unification to prepare for merge in the future.

Any comments, suggestions and criticism as always
welcome.

v2
  Introduce and use inet_addr_match_rta() as suggested
  by David Ahern.

  Check for result from get_prefix() in places where
  inet_addr_match_rta() being used.

Thanks,
Serhii
