[PATCH net-next 06/11] tools: ynl-gen: don't validate nested array attribute types

[Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen]

In nested arrays don't require that the intermediate
attribute type should be a valid attribute type, it
might just be an index or simple 0, it is often not
even used.

See include/net/netlink.h about NLA_NESTED_ARRAY:
> The difference to NLA_NESTED is the structure:
> NLA_NESTED has the nested attributes directly inside
> while an array has the nested attributes at another
> level down and the attribute types directly in the
> nesting don't matter.
