Currently rtnl_link_get_net_ifla() gets called twice when we create
peer devices, once in rtnl_add_peer_net() and once in each ->newlink()
implementation.
This looks safer, however, it leads to a classic Time-of-Check to
Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) bug since IFLA_NET_NS_PID is very dynamic. And
because of the lack of checking error pointer of the second call, it
also leads to a kernel crash as reported by syzbot.
Fix this by getting rid of the second call, which already becomes
redudant after Kuniyuki's work. We have to propagate the result of the
first rtnl_link_get_net_ifla() down to each ->newlink().
