    [NET]: Fix fib_rules compatibility breakage · e1701c68

    Based upon a patch from Patrick McHardy.
    
    The fib_rules netlink attribute policy introduced in 2.6.19 broke
    userspace compatibilty. When specifying a rule with "from all"
    or "to all", iproute adds a zero byte long netlink attribute,
    but the policy requires all addresses to have a size equal to
    sizeof(struct in_addr)/sizeof(struct in6_addr), resulting in a
    validation error.
    
    Check attribute length of FRA_SRC/FRA_DST in the generic framework
    by letting the family specific rules implementation provide the
    length of an address. Report an error if address length is non
    zero but no address attribute is provided. Fix actual bug by
    checking address length for non-zero instead of relying on
    availability of attribute.
