rtnetlink: let rtnl_bridge_setlink checks IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE length

There are totally 9 ndo_bridge_setlink handlers in the current kernel,
which are 1) bnxt_bridge_setlink, 2) be_ndo_bridge_setlink 3)
i40e_ndo_bridge_setlink 4) ice_bridge_setlink 5)
ixgbe_ndo_bridge_setlink 6) mlx5e_bridge_setlink 7)
nfp_net_bridge_setlink 8) qeth_l2_bridge_setlink 9) br_setlink.

By investigating the code, we find that 1-7 parse and use nlattr
IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE but 3 and 4 forget to do the nla_len check. This can
lead to an out-of-attribute read and allow a malformed nlattr (e.g.,
length 0) to be viewed as a 2 byte integer.

To avoid such issues, also for other ndo_bridge_setlink handlers in the
future. This patch adds the nla_len check in rtnl_bridge_setlink and
does an early error return if length mismatches. To make it works, the
break is removed from the parsing for IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS to make sure
this nla_for_each_nested iterates every attribute.

Fixes: b1edc14a3fbf ("ice: Implement ice_bridge_getlink and ice_bridge_setlink")
Fixes: 51616018dd1b ("i40e: Add support for getlink, setlink ndo ops")
