This may work for DSA but it won't work for all the device types vlan/macsec/... that
now use the link attribute.  It looks like the change link handling for those
device types just ignores the link attribute (maybe ok). But before supporting this
as an API, it would be better if all the other drivers that use IFLA_LINK
had error checks in their change link handling.

Please add error checks in kernel first.
