> This patch adds changelink rtnl operation support for geneve devices.
> Code changes involve:
>   - refactor geneve_newlink into geneve_nl2info to be used by both
>     geneve_newlink and geneve_changelink
>   - geneve_nl2info takes a changelink boolean argument to isolate
>     changelink checks and updates.
>   - Allow changing only a few attributes:
>     - return -EOPNOTSUPP for attributes that cannot be changed for
>       now. Incremental patches can make the non-supported one
>       available in the future if needed.
