rtnetlink: Remove VLA usage
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
allocates the maximum size expected for all possible types and adds
sanity-checks at both registration and usage to make sure nothing gets
out of sync. This matches the proposed VLA solution for nfnetlink[2]. The
values chosen here were based on finding assignments for .maxtype and
.slave_maxtype and manually counting the enums:
slave_maxtype (max 33):
IFLA_BRPORT_MAX 33
IFLA_BOND_SLAVE_MAX 9
maxtype (max 45):
IFLA_BOND_MAX 28
IFLA_BR_MAX 45
__IFLA_CAIF_HSI_MAX 8
IFLA_CAIF_MAX 4
IFLA_CAN_MAX 16
IFLA_GENEVE_MAX 12
IFLA_GRE_MAX 25
IFLA_GTP_MAX 5
IFLA_HSR_MAX 7
IFLA_IPOIB_MAX 4
IFLA_IPTUN_MAX 21
IFLA_IPVLAN_MAX 3
IFLA_MACSEC_MAX 15
IFLA_MACVLAN_MAX 7
IFLA_PPP_MAX 2
__IFLA_RMNET_MAX 4
IFLA_VLAN_MAX 6
IFLA_VRF_MAX 2
IFLA_VTI_MAX 7
IFLA_VXLAN_MAX 28
VETH_INFO_MAX 2
VXCAN_INFO_MAX 2
This additionally changes maxtype and slave_maxtype fields to unsigned,
since they're only ever using positive values.
