It's hard to comment a patch which is sent in attachment
(see 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/SubmittingPatches#n333).

+				err = rtnl_group_changelink(skb, dest_net,
It should probably be something like 'link_net ? : dest_net' instead of
dest_net.

I also don't understand why you need two label ('out' and 'err'). I think one is 
enough (link_net is initialized to NULL for this purpose).
And why not keeping the same name as before, ie 'out'? It will minimize the
patch.
