Subject: [PATCH iproute2 0/3] Forbid "type" for peer, update ifname and make it array in ll_cache

In this series I present following improvements and fixes:

  1) Forbid "type" parameter when parsing command line
     for peer in iplink_vxcan.c and link_veth.c using
     iplink_parse(): we already known it.

  2) In ll_remember_index() update ifname, not only rehash
     it. It might be changed for same ifindex since last
     run (i.e. in cache "eth0" during the dump "ppp0").

  3) Make ifname fixed size array of chars in @struct ll_cache:
     names are never exceed IFNAMSIZ (16 bytes). Replace
     strcmp()/strcpy() with memcmp()/memcpy() to possibly
     benefit from compiler call inlining.

See individual patch description message for details.

Thanks,
Serhii
