Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] rtnl: split __rtnl_newlink() into two functions

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 16:55:07 -0700

__rtnl_newlink() is 250LoC, but has a few clear sections.
Move the part which creates a new netdev to a separate
function.

For ease of review code will be moved in the next change.
