From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>

[ Upstream commit ea8564c865299815095bebeb4b25bef474218e4c ]

functions to allow multiple handler threads read upcall)"
changes its type from U32 to UNSPEC, but leave the kernel
unchanged

and after kernel 6e237d099fac "(netlink: Relax attr validation
for fixed length types)", this bug is exposed by the below
warning

	[   57.215841] netlink: 'ovs-vswitchd': attribute type 5 has an invalid length.
