Most of these are obvious typo fixes, but I want to point out this one
in particular because "adduce" is a real word.  It's possible that's
what Vlad intended in 01a3d796813d ("if_link: Add an additional
parameter to ifla_vf_info for RSS querying"), though it doesn't quite
seem to fit.  Vlad, if you did intend "adduce", my apologies in
advance.
