[PATCH net] openvswitch: warn about missing first netlink attribute

flat view
STALE3420d

From: Nicolas Dichtel <hidden>

Subsystem: openvswitch, the rest · Maintainers: Aaron Conole, Eelco Chaudron, Ilya Maximets, Linus Torvalds

The first netlink attribute (value 0) must always be defined
as none/unspec.

Because we cannot change an existing UAPI, I add a comment to point the
mistake and avoid to propagate it in a new ovs API in the future.
