rtnetlink: extend RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS to IFLA_VF_INFO
This filter already exists for excluding IPv6 SNMP stats. Extend its definition to also exclude IFLA_VF_INFO stats in RTM_GETLINK. This patch constitutes a partial fix for a netlink attribute nesting overflow bug in IFLA_VFINFO_LIST. By excluding the stats when the requester doesn't need them, the truncation of the VF list is avoided. While it was technically only the stats added in commit c5a9f6f0 ("net/core: Add drop counters to VF statistics") breaking the camel's back, the appreciable size of the stats data should never have been included without due consideration for the maximum number of VFs supported by PCI.
