Subject: [net-next PATCH] net: rtnetlink: Support alias interfaces with RTM_GETLINK

Align interface name handling regarding alias interfaces in
rtnl_getlink() with dev_ioctl() treating SIOCGIFINDEX ioctl calls. The
latter function strips any colon suffix before doing the interface
lookup, do the same for RTM_GETLINK requests.
