dev: set iflink to 0 for virtual interfaces

Virtual interfaces are supposed to set an iflink value != of their ifindex. It was not the case for some of them, like vxlan, bond or bridge. Let's set iflink to 0 when dev->rtnl_link_ops is set. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
