ip: defer lookup interface index 

The ip command would always lookup the network device index
even when not necessary. This slows down operations like creating
lots of VLAN's.

David reported the original issue, this is an alternative patch
that solves it in a slightly more general method.

Using iproute2 to create a bridge and add 4094 vlans to it can take from
2 to 3 *minutes*. The reason is the extraneous call to ll_name_to_index.
ll_name_to_index results in an ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) call which in turn
invokes dev_load. If the index does not exist, which it won't when
creating a new link, dev_load calls modprobe twice -- once for
netdev-NAME and again for NAME. This is unnecessary overhead for each
link create.

When ip link is invoked for a new device, there is no reason to
call ll_name_to_index for the new device. With this patch, creating
a bridge and adding 4094 vlans takes less than 3 *seconds*.
