[RTNETLINK]: Introduce generic rtnl_create_link().

This routine gets the parsed rtnl attributes and creates a new
link with generic info (IFLA_LINKINFO policy). Its intention
is to help the drivers, that need to create several links at
once (like VETH).

This is nothing but a copy-paste-ed part of rtnl_newlink() function
that is responsible for creation of new device.
