====================
net: sched: act_ctinfo: fixes

This is first attempt at sending a small series.  Order is important
because one bug (policy validation) prevents us from encountering the
more important 'OOPS' generating bug in action creation.  Fix the OOPS
first.

Confession time: Until very recently, development of this module has
been done on 'net-next' tree to 'clean compile' level with run-time
testing on backports to 4.14 & 4.19 kernels under openwrt.  It turns out
that sched: action: based code has been under more active change than I
realised.

During the back & forward porting during development & testing, the
critical ACT_P_CREATED return code got missed despite being in the 4.14
& 4.19 backports.  I have now gone through the init functions, using
act_csum as reference with a fine toothed comb and am happy they do the
same things.

This issue hadn't been caught till now due to another issue caused by
new strict nla_parse_nested function failing parsing validation before
action creation.

Thanks to Marcelo Leitner <marcelo.leitner@gmail.com> for flagging
extack deficiency (fixed in 733f0766c3de sched: act_ctinfo: use extack
error reporting) which led to b424e432e770 ("netlink: add validation of
NLA_F_NESTED flag") and 8cb081746c03 ("netlink: make validation more
configurable for future strictness”) which led to the policy validation
fix, which then led to the action creation fix both contained in this
series.

If I ever get to a developer conference please feel free to
tar/feather/apply cone of shame.
