There have been several instances where response from kernel
has overrun the stack buffer from the caller. Avoid future problems
by passing a size argument.
Also drop the unused peer and group arguments to rtnl_talk.
This patch replaces exits with returns in several
iproute2 commands. This fixes `ip -batch -force`
to not exit but continue on errors.

While practical constraints may limit the value of filter_index to remain within
the bounds of a positive signed int, there is certainly no such guarantee here.
Also, a plain majority vote suggests that this really just a wrong declaration
in link.c as several declarations of filter_index as signed int exist.
[...]
My followup on this was:
I think the majority is wrong.
filter_index is assigned exclusively from if_nametoindex or ll_name_to_index
which both return unsigned int.
Changing it to unsigned everywhere seems better.
This has been minimally tested by using the bridge tool
to add vids and showing available vids on different devices.

Recent kernel patches added support for VLAN filtering on the bridge.
This functionality allows one to turn a basic bridge into a VLAN bridge,
where VLANs dicatate packet forwarding and header transformation.
To configure the VLANs on the bridge and its ports a new command is
added to the 'bridge' utility.
# bridge vlan add dev eth0 vid 10 pvid untagged brdev
# bridge vlan add
# bridge vlan delete dev eth0 vid 10
# bridge vlan show
This command supports the following flags:
master - peform the operation on the software bridge device. This is
the default behavior.
self - perform the operation on the hardware associated with the port.
This flag is required when the device is the bridge device and
the configuration is desired on the bridge device itself (not
one of the ports).
pvid - Set the PVID (port vlan id) for a given port. Any untagged
frames arriving on the port will be assigned to this vlan.
untagged - Sets the egress policy of for a given vlan. Default port
egress policy is tagged. Set this flag if you wish traffic
associated with this VLAN to exit the port untagged.
