When the interface does not exist, and a group is given, the given
parameters are being set to all interfaces of the given group. The given
IFNAME/ALT_IF_NAME are being ignored in that case.
That can be dangerous since a typo (or a deleted interface) can produce
weird side effects for caller:
Case 1:
IFLA_IFNAME=valid_interface
IFLA_GROUP=1
MTU=1234
Case 1 will update MTU and group of the given interface "valid_interface".
Case 2:
IFLA_IFNAME=doesnotexist
IFLA_GROUP=1
MTU=1234
Case 2 will update MTU of all interfaces in group 1. IFLA_IFNAME is
ignored in this case
This behaviour is not consistent and dangerous. In order to fix this issue,
we now return ENODEV when the given IFNAME does not exist.
