Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 05/13] rtnetlink: Move rtnl_link_ops_get() and retry to rtnl_newlink().

Currently, if neither dev nor rtnl_link_ops is found in __rtnl_newlink(),
we release RTNL and redo the whole process after request_module(), which
complicates the logic.

The ops will be RTNL-independent later.

Let's move the ops lookup to rtnl_newlink() and do the retry earlier.
