[PATCH iproute2-next v2 1/2] iplink: print warning for missing VF data

[Edwin Peer <edwin.peer@broadcom.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1627 bytes --]

The kernel might truncate VF info in IFLA_VFINFO_LIST. Compare the
expected number of VFs in IFLA_NUM_VF to how many were found in the
list and warn accordingly.
