rtnetlink: Add peer_type in struct rtnl_link_ops.
In ops->newlink(), veth, vxcan, and netkit call rtnl_link_get_net() with a net pointer, which is the first argument of ->newlink(). rtnl_link_get_net() could return another netns based on IFLA_NET_NS_PID and IFLA_NET_NS_FD in the peer device's attributes. We want to get it and fill rtnl_nets->nets[] in advance in rtnl_newlink() for per-netns RTNL. All of the three get the peer netns in the same way: 1. Call rtnl_nla_parse_ifinfomsg() 2. Call ops->validate() (vxcan doesn't have) 3. Call rtnl_link_get_net_tb() Let's add a new field peer_type to struct rtnl_link_ops and prefetch netns in the peer ifla to add it to rtnl_nets in rtnl_newlink().
