Subject: [PATCH 41/76] route/link: fix sequence number handling in
rtnl_link_change()
When rtnl_link_change() fails with -NLE_OPNOTSUPP, it retries
with RTM_SETLINK operation. However, it also needs to re-adjust
the sequence number. Otherwise, the second request might fail
with NLE_SEQ_MISMATCH, although it actually succeeded.
