net: allow IFLA_INET_CONF messages when NLA_F_NESTED unset

Commit fa8fca88714c ("ipv4: validate IPV4_DEVCONF attributes properly")
added validation of IFLA_INET_CONF attributes, and in the process
changed the call of nla_for_each_nested() to nla_parse_nested(). A
side effect of this change is that the IFLA_INET_CONF option is now
tested for NLA_F_NESTED being set, and fails if it is not. Prior to the
commit there was no check of NLA_F_NESTED.

Change nla_parse_nested() to nla_parse(). This restores the previous
functionality of not checking NLA_F_NESTED, thereby allowing code that
(incorrectly) doesn't set NLA_F_NESTED to continue to work.

This issue was identified because keepalived started logging errors when
it was configuring macvlans that it created.
