L2TP for example uses NLA_MSECS like this:
policy:
        [L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]        = { .type = NLA_MSECS, },
code:
        if (info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT])
                cfg.reorder_timeout = nla_get_msecs(info->attrs[L2TP_ATTR_RECV_TIMEOUT]);

As nla_get_msecs() is essentially nla_get_u64() plus the
conversion to a HZ-based value, this will not properly
reject attributes from userspace that aren't long enough
and might overrun the message.

Add NLA_MSECS to the attribute minlen array to check the
size properly.
