dev: introduce dev_get_iflink()

Browse Source 
The goal of this patch is to prepare the removal of the iflink field. It
introduces a new ndo function, which will be implemented by virtual interfaces.

There is no functional change into this patch. All readers of iflink field
now call dev_get_iflink().
