Florent Fourcot 5ea08b5286 rtnetlink: enable alt_ifname for setlink/newlink
buffer called "ifname" given in function rtnl_dev_get
is always valid when called by setlink/newlink,
but contains only empty string when IFLA_IFNAME is not given. So
IFLA_ALT_IFNAME is always ignored

This patch fixes rtnl_dev_get function with a remove of ifname argument,
and move ifname copy in do_setlink when required.

It extends feature of commit 76c9ac0ee878,
"net: rtnetlink: add possibility to use alternative names as message
handle""
