Jakub Kicinski cff2d762cd genetlink: reject use of nlmsg_flags for new commands 
Commit 9c5d03d362 ("genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes")
introduced extra validation for genetlink headers. We had to gate it
to only apply to new commands, to maintain bug-wards compatibility.
Use this opportunity (before the new checks make it to Linus's tree)
to add more conditions.

Validate that Generic Netlink families do not use nlmsg_flags outside
of the well-understood set.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
