netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table 

Length of a netlink attribute may be u16 but lengths of basic attributes
are much smaller, so small we can save 16 bytes of .rodata and pocket
change inside .text.

16-bit is worse on x86-64 than 8-bit because of operand size override prefix.

	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-19 (-19)
	function                                     old     new   delta
	validate_nla                                 418     417      -1
	nla_policy_len                                66      64      -2
	nla_attr_minlen                               32      16     -16
