Subject: netlink: rename nl80211_validate_nested() to nla_validate_nested()
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc1
Git-commit: 32d5109a9d864aea3981f0b5ea736eee4e11b42a
References: bsc#1176447

Function nl80211_validate_nested() is not specific to nl80211, it's
a counterpart to nla_validate_nested_deprecated() with strict validation.
For consistency with other validation and parse functions, rename it to
nla_validate_nested().
