[ Upstream commit 5fac9b7c16 ]

__NLA_IS_BEINT_TYPE(tp) isn't useful.  NLA_BE16/32 are identical to
NLA_U16/32, the only difference is that it tells the netlink validation
functions that byteorder conversion might be needed before comparing
the value to the policy min/max ones.

After this change all policy macros that can be used with UINT types,
such as NLA_POLICY_MASK() can also be used with NLA_BE16/32.

This will be used to validate nf_tables flag attributes which
are in bigendian byte order.
