genetlink: reject use of nlmsg_flags for new commands
Commit 9c5d03d36251 ("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.
