rtnetlink: call validate_linkmsg in rtnl_create_link
validate_linkmsg() was introduced by commit 1840bb13 ("[RTNL]: Validate hardware and broadcast address attribute for RTM_NEWLINK") to validate tb[IFLA_ADDRESS/BROADCAST] for existing links. The same check should also be done for newly created links. This patch adds validate_linkmsg() call in rtnl_create_link(), to avoid the invalid address set when creating some devices like: # ip link add dummy0 type dummy # ip link add link dummy0 name mac0 address 01:02 type macsec Fixes: 0e06877c ("[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link: allow specifying initial device address") Signed-off-by: Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@corigine.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
