Now in iplink_parse() we use ->ifi_change and ->ifi_flags fields and plan to use ->ifi_index with upcoming change.
Saving, restoring and reinitializing individual fields is error prone: using new field in iplink_parse() without updating callers in veth and vxcan will overwrite main device ifinfomsg data. Since @struct ifinfomsg is small enough with known sizeof() compiler may inline memcpy()/memset() with few load/store instructions.
