cover net: More extack messages

From: David Ahern <[email protected]>

Add more extack messages for several link create errors (e.g., invalid number of queues, unknown link kind) and invalid metrics argument.

David Ahern (3):
net: Add extack argument to rtnl_create_link
net: Add extack argument to ip_fib_metrics_init
rtnetlink: Add more extack messages to rtnl_newlink

PATCH 3/3 rtnetlink: Add more extack messages to rtnl_newlink

In reply to David Ahern

From: David Ahern <[email protected]>

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.)
