rtnetlink: ifla_vf_policy: fix misuses of NLA_BINARY
commit 364d5716 upstream. ifla_vf_policy[] is wrong in advertising its individual member types as NLA_BINARY since .type = NLA_BINARY in combination with .len declares the len member as *max* attribute length [0, len]. The issue is that when do_setvfinfo() is being called to set up a VF through ndo handler, we could set corrupted data if the attribute length is less than the size of the related structure itself. The intent is exactly the opposite, namely to make sure to pass at least data of minimum size of len.
