[v1,iproute2-next,0/4] Dynamic rdma link creation

Message

This series adds rdmatool support for creating/deleting rdma links.
This will be used, mainly, by soft rdma drivers to allow adding/deleting
rdma links over netdev interfaces.  It provides the user side for
the following kernel changes merged in linux-rdma/for-next:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg75609.html

I believe this series is ready to go.  Please review!

Changes since RFC:

- add rd_sendrecv_msg() and make use of it in dev_set as well
  as the new link commands.
- fixed problems with the man pages
- changed the command line to use "netdev" as the keyword
  for the network device, do avoid confused with the ib_device
  name.
- got rid of the "type" parameter for link delete.  Also pass
  down the device index instead of the name, using the common
  rd services for validating the device name and fetching the
  index.

Thanks,

Steve.
