[PATCH] NETLINK: Put {IFA,IFLA}_{RTA,PAYLOAD} macros back for userspace.
GLIBC uses them etc. They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for userspace. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
