[NETFILTER]: nfnetlink: parse attributes with nfattr_parse in nfnetlink_check_attribute

Use nfattr_parse to parse attributes, this patch also modifies the default
behaviour since unknown attributes will be ignored instead of returning
EINVAL. This ensure backward compatibility: new libraries with new
attributes and old kernels can work.
