Eric Dumazet f3c4961054 rtnetlink: use dev_isalive() in rtnl_getlink()
rtnl_getlink() uses an RCU lookup to get the netdevice pointer.

When/If rtnl_lock() is used, we should check if the netdevice is not
being dismantled before potentially perform illegal actions.

Move dev_isalive() out of net/core/net-sysfs.c and make it available
in net/core/dev.h.

Return -ENODEV if rtnl_getlink() finds a device which is currently
being dismantled and RTNL is requested.

Fixes: e896e5c073 ("rtnetlink: do not acquire RTNL in rtnl_getlink() with RTEXT_FILTER_NAME_ONLY")
