Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/4] rtnetlink: Add get_link_af_size_filtered to rtnl_af_ops

get_link_af_size_filtered() - a filtering-mask aware alternative
function is added to struct rtnl_af_ops in order to allow for
"rightsizing" the IFLA_AF_SPEC calculation in if_nlmsg_size().
This significantly reduces the message size when at least one netdev has
large number of VLANs.
