nlmon: use standard rtnetlink link api for add/del devices
It is not nice when netdev is created right after module load and with some implicit name. So rather change nlmon to use standard rtnl link API. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
