iplink_vrf: Save device index from response for return code 

A recent commit changed rtnl_talk_* to return the response message in
allocated memory so callers need to free it. The change to name_is_vrf
did not save the device index which is pointing to a struct inside the
now allocated and freed memory resulting in garbage getting returned
in some cases.

Fix by using a stack variable to save the return value and only set
it to ifi->ifi_index after all checks are done and before the answer
buffer is freed.

Fixes: 86bf43c7c2 ("lib/libnetlink: update rtnl_talk to support malloc buff at run time")
