rtnetlink: Remove VLA usage
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this allocates the maximum size expected for all possible types and adds sanity-checks at both registration and usage to make sure nothing gets out of sync. This matches the proposed VLA solution for nfnetlink[2]. The values chosen here were based on finding assignments for .maxtype and .slave_maxtype and manually counting the enums: slave_maxtype (max 33): IFLA_BRPORT_MAX 33 IFLA_BOND_SLAVE_MAX 9 maxtype (max 45): IFLA_BOND_MAX 28 IFLA_BR_MAX 45 __IFLA_CAIF_HSI_MAX 8 IFLA_CAIF_MAX 4 IFLA_CAN_MAX 16 IFLA_GENEVE_MAX 12 IFLA_GRE_MAX 25 IFLA_GTP_MAX 5 IFLA_HSR_MAX 7 IFLA_IPOIB_MAX 4 IFLA_IPTUN_MAX 21 IFLA_IPVLAN_MAX 3 IFLA_MACSEC_MAX 15 IFLA_MACVLAN_MAX 7 IFLA_PPP_MAX 2 __IFLA_RMNET_MAX 4 IFLA_VLAN_MAX 6 IFLA_VRF_MAX 2 IFLA_VTI_MAX 7 IFLA_VXLAN_MAX 28 VETH_INFO_MAX 2 VXCAN_INFO_MAX 2 This additionally changes maxtype and slave_maxtype fields to unsigned, since they're only ever using positive values.
