Now we enhance get_addr() to return additional information about address (e.g. if it unspecified or multicast) we want to have same functionality for attributes in netlink message.
Introduce and use get_addr_rta() that parses given netlink attribute into @inet_prefix data structure in the same way similar get_addr() parses address from it's string representation. Use attribute length to guess address family: force it by giving non AF_UNSPEC @family to get_addr_rta() to ensure address is of expected family. Introduce and use inet_addr_match_rta() to further simplify and unify code where get_addr_rta() intended to be used together with inet_addr_match(). This is next step in ipv4 and ipv6 modules unification to prepare for merge in the future. Any comments, suggestions and criticism as always welcome. v2 Introduce and use inet_addr_match_rta() as suggested by David Ahern. Check for result from get_prefix() in places where inet_addr_match_rta() being used.
