iproute2: backport a patch to make adding vxlan link success

If without this patch:
    $ ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 51 group 238.1.1.1 dev eth0
    Error: argument "vxlan0" is wrong: Unknown device
    $

With this patch;
    $ ip link add vxlan0 type vxlan id 51 group 238.1.1.1 dev eth0
    $ ifconfig -a |grep vxlan0
    vxlan0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr da:61:56:2e:c2:20
    $

Subject: [PATCH] ip link: Remove unnecessary device checking
The real checking is performed later in iplink_modify(..) func which
checks device existence if NLM_F_CREATE flag is set.
Also it fixes the case when impossible to add veth link which was
caused by 9a02651a87 (ip: check for missing dev arg when doing VF rate)
because these devices are not exist yet.
