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 76c9ac0ee8,
"net: rtnetlink: add possibility to use alternative names as message
handle""

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
