It seems that rtnl_group_changelink() can call do_setlink
while a prior call to validate_linkmsg(dev = NULL, ...) could
not validate IFLA_ADDRESS / IFLA_BROADCAST
Make sure do_setlink() calls validate_linkmsg() instead
of letting its callers having this responsibility.
But now rtnl_newlink() will validate_linkmsg() twice....
