Patch 1 introduces struct rtnl_nets and helper functions to acquire
multiple per-netns RTNL in rtnl_newlink().

Patch 2 - 5 are to prefetch the peer device's netns in rtnl_newlink().

Patch 6 converts rtnl_newlink() to per-netns RTNL.

Patch 7 pushes RTNL down to rtnl_dellink() and rtnl_setlink(), but
the conversion will not be completed unless we support cases with
peer/upper/lower devices.


Changes:
  v2
    * Patch 1
      * Move struct rtnl_nets to rtnetlink.c
      * Unexport rtnl_nets_add()
    * Patch 2
      * Rename the helper to rtnl_link_get_net_ifla()
      * Unexport rtnl_link_get_net_ifla()
      * Change peer_type to u16
    * Patch 6
      * Remove __rtnl_unlock() dance

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241105020514.41963-1-kuniyu@amazon.com/
