[PATCH net-next 0/2] rtnetlink: avoid a warning in rtnl_newlink()

[Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com>]

Hi!

I've been hoping for some time that someone more competent would fix
the stack frame size warning in rtnl_newlink(), but looks like I'll
have to take a stab at it myself :)  That's the only warning I see
in most of my builds.

First patch refactors away a somewhat surprising if (1) code block.
Reindentation will most likely cause cherry-pick problems but OTOH
rtnl_newlink() doesn't seem to be changed often, so perhaps we can
risk it in the name of cleaner code?

Second patch fixes the warning in simplest possible way.  I was
pondering if there is any more clever solution, but I can't see it..
rtnl_newlink() is quite long with a lot of possible execution paths
so doing memory allocations half way through leads to very ugly
results.
