When nested attribute is used, generated type in the netlink policy
is NLA_NEST, which is wrong as there is no such type. Fix be adding
`ed` sufix for policy generated for 'nest' type attribute.

For nests the policy should come from
class TypeNest -> def _attr_policy()
why do we need to tweak the default implementation in the parent class?
