[RFC 2/3]: The reason why this patch mark as RFC is that now only netfilter
use delete flags. If this should not be merged, please tell me. I will decode
delete flags in [3/3]("netlink: decode NETLINK_NETFILTER netlink message flags")

About RTM_DELACTION, it use NLM_F_ROOT flags:

Linux kernel: net/sched/act_api.c: tca_action_gd():
static int
tca_action_gd(struct net *net, struct nlattr *nla, struct nlmsghdr *n,
              u32 portid, int event)
{
        ...
        if (event == RTM_DELACTION && n->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_ROOT) {
                if (tb[1] != NULL)
                        return tca_action_flush(net, tb[1], n, portid);
                else
                        return -EINVAL;
        }
        ...
}

iproute2: tc/m_action.c: print_action()
int print_action(const struct sockaddr_nl *who,
                           struct nlmsghdr *n,
                           void *arg)
{
        ...
        if (n->nlmsg_type == RTM_DELACTION) {
                if (n->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_ROOT) {
                        fprintf(fp, "Flushed table ");
                        tab_flush = 1;
                } else {
                        fprintf(fp, "Deleted action ");
                }
        }
        ...
}

[RFC 3/3]: This patch I want the reviewer know what I do after refactor
decode_nlmsg_flags. No need to merge.

JingPiao Chen (3):
  netlink: refactor decode_nlmsg_flags
  netlink: decode netlink message delete flags
  netlink: decode NETLINK_NETFILTER netlink message flags
