rtnetlink: avoid a warning in rtnl_newlink()

I've been hoping for some time that someone more competent would fix
the stack frame size warning in rtnl_newlink(), but looks like I'll
have to take a stab at it myself :)  That's the only warning I see
in most of my builds.

First patch refactors away a somewhat surprising if (1) code block.
Reindentation will most likely cause cherry-pick problems but OTOH
rtnl_newlink() doesn't seem to be changed often, so perhaps we can
risk it in the name of cleaner code?

Second patch fixes the warning in simplest possible way.  I was
pondering if there is any more clever solution, but I can't see it..
rtnl_newlink() is quite long with a lot of possible execution paths
so doing memory allocations half way through leads to very ugly
results.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
