rtnetlink: return ENODEV when ifname does not exist and group is given

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit ef2a7c9065 ]

When the interface does not exist, and a group is given, the given
parameters are being set to all interfaces of the given group. The given
IFNAME/ALT_IF_NAME are being ignored in that case.

That can be dangerous since a typo (or a deleted interface) can produce
weird side effects for caller:

Case 1:

 IFLA_IFNAME=valid_interface
 IFLA_GROUP=1
 MTU=1234

Case 1 will update MTU and group of the given interface "valid_interface".

Case 2:

 IFLA_IFNAME=doesnotexist
 IFLA_GROUP=1
 MTU=1234

Case 2 will update MTU of all interfaces in group 1. IFLA_IFNAME is
ignored in this case

This behaviour is not consistent and dangerous. In order to fix this issue,
we now return ENODEV when the given IFNAME does not exist.
