Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 2/3] net: add ndo for setting the iflink property

In DSA the iflink value is used to report to which CPU port a given
switch port is connected to. Since we want to support multi-CPU DSA, we
want the user to be able to change this value.

Add ndo_set_iflink method into the ndo strucutre to be a pair to
ndo_get_iflink. Also create dev_set_iflink and call this from the
netlink code, so that userspace can change the iflink value.
