Currently, even though we can access any linked device, we can't attach
anything to it, which is vital to properly manage them.

To fix this, add a new void *private to netdev_adjacent and functions
setting/getting it (per link), so that we can save, per example, bonding's
slave structures there, per slave device.

netdev_master_upper_dev_link_private(dev, upper_dev, private) links dev to
upper dev and populates the neighbour link only with private.

netdev_lower_dev_get_private{,_rcu}() returns the private, if found.
