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.
