fib_nl_fill_rule() emits FRA_GOTO and FRA_L3MDEV, but
fib_rule_nlmsg_size() reserves room for neither. Its only caller,
notify_rule_change(), allocates the notification skb with that size and
treats a failure as a bug:
/* -EMSGSIZE implies BUG in fib_rule_nlmsg_size() */
A rule that has both a goto target and l3mdev set needs 16 more bytes
than are reserved. nlmsg_new() rounds the allocation up through
SKB_DATA_ALIGN(), so the slack hides the mistake most of the time and
the bug stays latent, but the accounting is wrong and the notification
can still fail with -EMSGSIZE.
Reserve the two missing attributes, keeping the order used by
fib_nl_fill_rule().
Fixes: 0947c9fe56d9 ("[NET] fib_rules: goto rule action")
Fixes: 96c63fa7393d ("net: Add l3mdev rule")

not really going to fail since the size has so many attributes that are
not applicable to this rule.
