[PATCH net 05/12] bridge: always put IFLA_LINK for ports with ndo_get_iflink

From: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net>

Subsystem: ethernet bridge, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Nikolay Aleksandrov, Ido Schimmel, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Bridge devices try to detect if devices have a lower link when dumping
information about their ports, but that detection doesn't work when
the device and its link have the same ifindex:

For a bridge with the following ports:

    20: veth1@if20: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master bridge0 ...
    22: veth2@if21: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop master bridge0 ...

We get this output with the "bridge link" command:

    20: veth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 master bridge0 ...
    22: veth2@if21: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 master bridge0 ...

veth1 should also have "@if20" in bridge link.

Instead of calling dev_get_iflink(), we can use the existence of the
ndo_get_iflink operation (which dev_get_iflink would call) to check if
a device has a lower link.

Fixes: d8a5ec672768 ("[NET]: netlink support for moving devices between network namespaces.")
