[Disco][SRU][PATCH 2/5] xfrm interface: avoid corruption on changelink

From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel at 6wind.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836261

The new parameters must not be stored in the netdev_priv() before
validation, it may corrupt the interface. Note also that if data is NULL,
only a memset() is done.

$ ip link add xfrm1 type xfrm dev lo if_id 1
$ ip link add xfrm2 type xfrm dev lo if_id 2
$ ip link set xfrm1 type xfrm dev lo if_id 2
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
$ ip -d link list dev xfrm1
5: xfrm1 at lo: <NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/none 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 promiscuity 0 minmtu 68 maxmtu 1500
    xfrm if_id 0x2 addrgenmode eui64 numtxqueues 1 numrxqueues 1 gso_max_size 65536 gso_max_segs 65535

=> "if_id 0x2"
