rtnetlink: avoid frame size warning in rtnl_newlink()
Standard kernel compilation produces the following warning:
net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function ‘rtnl_newlink’:
net/core/rtnetlink.c:3232:1: warning: the frame size of 1288 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
}
^
This should not really be an issue, as rtnl_newlink() stack is
generally quite shallow.
Fix the warning by allocating attributes with kmalloc() in a wrapper
and passing it down to rtnl_newlink(), avoiding complexities on error
paths.
Alternatively we could kmalloc() some structure within rtnl_newlink(),
slave attributes look like a good candidate. In practice it adds to
already rather high complexity and length of the function.
