Unfortunately not only: it uses IFLA_LINK_NETNSID too. May be adding
"_rta" suffix to this routine as we did in the past when introducing
get_addr_rta() and similar routines? In my opinion this is preferred
than adding one more parameters to the routine.

On the other hand tb[IFLA_LINK] taken by rta_getaddr_u32() (but actually
it is "int" with values strictly greater than zero as implemented in
kernel), so making function to catch missing tb[IFLA_LINK] would require
some helper and may broke "should never happen" case when
(int)rta_getattr_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK]) < 0.

Currently we may call ll_index_to_name() with negative iflink.
