This patch changes bridge IFLA_AF_SPEC netlink attribute parser to
look for more than one IFLA_BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO attribute. This allows
userspace to pack more than one vlan in the setlink msg.

Removing this call orphans ifla_br_policy...should ifla_br_policy be
removed?

good question. Its a good place to see the type. In-fact userspace programs
also copy the same policy to parse netlink attributes. hmmm..
I would like to keep it if it does not throw a warning.

I don't know what the policy (sorry, no pun intended) on leaving dead
code.  I say remove it.
