Re: [PATCH] veth: Cleanly handle a missing peer_tb argument on creation.

I was getting strange kernel crashes when attempting to
create veth devices when I did not specify a peer argument
to /bin/ip.

So this patch defaults peer_tb to all zeros and doesn't attempt to
reuse the netlink attributes for the primary link to create the
secondary link and now I can't reproduce the failures.

Given that some of the most interesting netlink attributes to specify
like a mac address or a network device name seem are generally
the wrong thing to do this seems like the right approach.

This looks mostly fine, can someone else who knows
veth a bit review this as well?
