It doesn't matter what "correct" compat nested attribute parsing is or is not. The fact is that RR and PRIO were using a certain format, consistently, prior to commit #6. This is what was codified in userspace in the iproute2 sources and worked correctly until #6.
So we remove nla_parsed_nested_compat() just to add it again under a different name since netem is still going to use that piece of code. That certainly makes sense. Fixing prio and rr in stable is a one liner.
