[PATCH net-next 1/3] rtnl: allocate more attr tables on the heap

[Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>]

Commit a293974590cf ("rtnetlink: avoid frame size warning in rtnl_newlink()")
moved to allocating the largest attribute array of rtnl_newlink()
on the heap. Kalle reports the stack has grown above 1k again:

  net/core/rtnetlink.c:3557:1: error: the frame size of 1104 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

Move more attrs to the heap, wrap them in a struct.
Don't bother with linkinfo, it's referenced a lot and we take
its size so it's awkward to move, plus it's small (6 elements).
