Jakub Kicinski a293974590 rtnetlink: avoid frame size warning in rtnl_newlink()
Standard kernel compilation produces the following warning:

net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function ‘rtnl_newlink’:
net/core/rtnetlink.c:3232:1: warning: the frame size of 1288 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
 }
  ^

This should not really be an issue, as rtnl_newlink() stack is
generally quite shallow.

Fix the warning by allocating attributes with kmalloc() in a wrapper
and passing it down to rtnl_newlink(), avoiding complexities on error
paths.

Alternatively we could kmalloc() some structure within rtnl_newlink(),
slave attributes look like a good candidate.  In practice it adds to
already rather high complexity and length of the function.

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.
