H A Drtnetlink.cdiff 68d57f3b1d1a87b4022a0a7463126d7ea172bda1 Tue Nov 06 14:51:16 CST 2018 David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> rtnetlink: Add more extack messages to rtnl_newlink

Add extack arg to the nla_parse_nested calls in rtnl_newlink, and
add messages for unknown device type and link network namespace id.
In particular, it improves the failure message when the wrong link
type is used. From
$ ip li add bond1 type bonding
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported
to
$ ip li add bond1 type bonding
Error: Unknown device type.

(The module name is bonding but the link type is bond.)
