rtnetlink: Add peer_type in struct rtnl_link_ops.

In ops->newlink(), veth, vxcan, and netkit call rtnl_link_get_net() with
a net pointer, which is the first argument of ->newlink().

rtnl_link_get_net() could return another netns based on IFLA_NET_NS_PID
and IFLA_NET_NS_FD in the peer device's attributes.

We want to get it and fill rtnl_nets->nets[] in advance in rtnl_newlink()
for per-netns RTNL.

All of the three get the peer netns in the same way:

  1. Call rtnl_nla_parse_ifinfomsg()
  2. Call ops->validate() (vxcan doesn't have)
  3. Call rtnl_link_get_net_tb()

Let's add a new field peer_type to struct rtnl_link_ops and prefetch
netns in the peer ifla to add it to rtnl_nets in rtnl_newlink().
