Kees Cook ccf8dbcd06 rtnetlink: Remove VLA usage
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
allocates the maximum size expected for all possible types and adds
sanity-checks at both registration and usage to make sure nothing gets
out of sync. This matches the proposed VLA solution for nfnetlink[2]. The
values chosen here were based on finding assignments for .maxtype and
.slave_maxtype and manually counting the enums:

slave_maxtype (max 33):
	IFLA_BRPORT_MAX     33
	IFLA_BOND_SLAVE_MAX  9

maxtype (max 45):
	IFLA_BOND_MAX       28
	IFLA_BR_MAX         45
	__IFLA_CAIF_HSI_MAX  8
	IFLA_CAIF_MAX        4
	IFLA_CAN_MAX        16
	IFLA_GENEVE_MAX     12
	IFLA_GRE_MAX        25
	IFLA_GTP_MAX         5
	IFLA_HSR_MAX         7
	IFLA_IPOIB_MAX       4
	IFLA_IPTUN_MAX      21
	IFLA_IPVLAN_MAX      3
	IFLA_MACSEC_MAX     15
	IFLA_MACVLAN_MAX     7
	IFLA_PPP_MAX         2
	__IFLA_RMNET_MAX     4
	IFLA_VLAN_MAX        6
	IFLA_VRF_MAX         2
	IFLA_VTI_MAX         7
	IFLA_VXLAN_MAX      28
	VETH_INFO_MAX        2
	VXCAN_INFO_MAX       2

This additionally changes maxtype and slave_maxtype fields to unsigned,
since they're only ever using positive values.
