Allow a master interface to be specified as one of the parameters when
creating a new interface via rtnl_newlink.  Previously this would
require invoking interface creation, waiting for it to complete, and
then separately binding that new interface to a master.

In particular, this is used when creating a macvlan child interface for
VRRP in a VRF configuration, allowing the interface creator to specify
directly what master interface should be inherited by the child,
without having to deal with asynchronous complications and potential
race conditions.

Applied to net-next, thanks.
