genetlink: clean up family attributes allocations
genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() and genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_free() take a boolean parameter to determine whether allocate/free the family attrs. This is unnecessary as we can just check family->parallel_ops. More importantly, callers would not need to worry about pairing these parameters correctly after this patch. And this fixes a memory leak, as after commit c36f0555 ("genetlink: fix memory leaks in genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit()") we call genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() for both parallel and non-parallel cases.
