iproute2 can spend considerable amount of time in ll_init_map() or ll_link_get() to dump verbose netdev attributes, contributing to RTNL pressure. Add RTEXT_FILTER_NAME_ONLY new flag so that rtnl_fill_ifinfo() limits its output to: - struct nlmsghdr - IFLA_IFNAME - IFLA_PROP_LIST (alternate names) We can later avoid using RTNL when RTEXT_FILTER_NAME_ONLY is requested, as none of these attributes need RTNL.
