I would argue that the actual commit would be ...

Fixes: c02db8c6290b ("rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric")

... since in ebc08a6f47ee, these members were part of ifla_policy[]
which has been validated (if we ignore the fact that it was NLA_BINARY).

So, commit c02db8c6290b moved it into a nested attribute (IFLA_VF_INFO)
where we indeed don't do further validation. Imho, we should pass the
parsed attribute table from nla_parse_nested() down into do_setvfinfo(),
something like the below; I can give it a test run on my ixgbe.

Cheers,
Daniel
