Just using 'rem > 0' might be unsafe, so it's better
to use the nla_ok() instead.
Because we can see from the nla_next() that
'*remaining' might be smaller than 'totlen'. And nla_ok()
will avoid it happening.
For example, ovs_dp_process_packet() -> ovs_execute_actions()
-> do_execute_actions() -> output_userspace(), and attr comes
from OVS_CB(skb)->input_vport,which restores the received packet
from the user space.
