rtnetlink: improve ALT_IFNAME config and fix dangerous GROUP usage
First commit forbids dangerous calls when both IFNAME and GROUP are
given, since it can introduce unexpected behaviour when IFNAME does not
match any interface.
Second patch achieves primary goal of this patchset to fix/improve
IFLA_ALT_IFNAME attribute, since previous code was never working for
newlink/setlink. ip-link command is probably getting interface index
before, and was not using this feature.
Last two patches are improving error code on corner cases.
Changes in v2:
* Remove ifname argument in rtnl_dev_get/do_setlink
functions (simplify code)
* Use a boolean to avoid condition duplication in __rtnl_newlink
Changes in v3:
* Simplify rtnl_dev_get signature
Changes in v4:
* Rename link_lookup to link_specified
Changes in v5:
* Re-order patches

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
