tun: Consistently configure generic netdev params via rtnetlink
Configuring generic network device parameters on tun will fail in presence of IFLA_INFO_KIND attribute in IFLA_LINKINFO nested attribute since tun_validate() always return failure. This can be visualized with following ip-link(8) command sequences: # ip link set dev tun0 group 100 # ip link set dev tun0 group 100 type tun RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument with contrast to dummy and veth drivers: # ip link set dev dummy0 group 100 # ip link set dev dummy0 type dummy # ip link set dev veth0 group 100 # ip link set dev veth0 group 100 type veth Fix by returning zero in tun_validate() when @data is NULL that is always in case since rtnl_link_ops->maxtype is zero in tun driver.
