We were getting error messages like these in the kernel ring:
[ +0,646319] netlink: 'bst': attribute type 1 has an invalid length.
[ +0,000012] netlink: 'bst': attribute type 2 has an invalid length.
While benign (because the kernel still accepts the values and downcasts
them), reading of the kernel code indicates that the ipvlan driver
expects u16 instead of u32 for the mode and flags attributes, so this
commit adjusts them to the right type.
