[Linuxptp-devel] [PATCHv5 03/12] rtnl: update rtgenmsg to ifinfomsg when request link info

[Hangbin L. <liu...@gm...>]

The previous function use general message and will dump all interfaces'
information. Now update with ifinfomsg so we could get specific interface's
information.

We still could get all interfaces' info if set device to NULL.
