A recent commit changed rtnl_talk_* to return the response message in
allocated memory so callers need to free it. The change to name_is_vrf
did not save the device index which is pointing to a struct inside the
now allocated and freed memory resulting in garbage getting returned
in some cases.
Fix by using a stack variable to save the return value and only set
it to ifi->ifi_index after all checks are done and before the answer
buffer is freed.

This is an update for 460c03f3f3 ("iplink: double the buffer size also in
iplink_get()"). After update, we will not need to double the buffer size
every time when VFs number increased.
With call like rtnl_talk(&rth, &req.n, NULL, 0), we can simply remove the
length parameter.
With call like rtnl_talk(&rth, nlh, nlh, sizeof(req), I add a new variable
answer to avoid overwrite data in nlh, because it may has more info after
nlh. also this will avoid nlh buffer not enough issue.
We need to free answer after using.

iplink_vrf has 2 functions used to validate a user given device name is
a VRF device and to return the table id. If the user string is not a
device name ip commands with a vrf keyword show a confusing error
message: "RTNETLINK answers: No such device".
Add a variant of rtnl_talk that does not display the "RTNETLINK answers"
message and update iplink_vrf to use it.

The original bond/bridge/vrf and slaves use same id, which make people
confused. Use bond/bridge/vrf_slave as id name will make code more clear.

Add ipvrf_get_table to lookup table id for device name. Returns 0
on any error or if name is not a VRF device.

Currently, the table id for VRF devices requires an integer. Convert
it to use rtnl_rttable_a2n which handles table names from the iproute2
directory.
This also fixes a bug in the original commit where table name are not
properly handled.

Allow user to create a vrf device and specify its table binding.
Based on the iplink_vlan implementation.
