When strict checking is enabled the kernel expects to receive the
ifindex of the bridge device using 'NDA_MASTER', but iproute2 currently
uses 'IFLA_MASTER' which the kernel expects when strict checking is
disabled. Therefore, using iproute2 on current kernels while filtering
on bridge results in the following error:

# bridge fdb show br br0
Error: Unsupported attribute in fdb dump request.
Dump terminated

Additionally, when strict checking is disabled and the bridge is
specified via 'IFLA_MASTER', we need to make sure that the message
length actually corresponds to 'struct ifinfomsg' and a potential
attribute.

Fix this by adding a new flag to the RTNL handle which indicates whether
strict checking is enabled on the socket or not. If it is enabled,
specify 'NDA_MASTER'. Otherwise, specify 'IFLA_MASTER' and set the
message length accordingly.

Tested with and without strict checking on net-next and on older kernels
(v4.18, v4.17, v4.9).

Fixes: 66e8e73edc65 ("bridge: fdb: Use 'struct ndmsg' for FDB dumping")
Fixes: aea41afcfd6d ("ip bridge: Set NETLINK_GET_STRICT_CHK on socket")
