Eric Dumazet b588019e85 rtnetlink: add RTEXT_FILTER_NAME_ONLY support
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.
