Serhey Popovych 8960d45fba tuntap: Use netlink to walk through tuntap list 
It seems bad idea to depend on sysfs being mounted and reflected to the
current network namespace. Same applies to procfs.

Instead netlink should be used to talk to the kernel and get list of
specific network devices among with their parameters.

Support for kernel netlink message filtering by passing IFLA_INFO_KIND
in RTM_GETLINK request: if kernel does not support filtering by the kind
we will check it in reply anyway. Check for ifi->ifi_type to be either
ARPHRD_NONE or ARPHRD_ETHER to seed up things a bit without kernel level
filtering.

Unfortunately tun driver does not implement dumping it's configuration
via netlink and we still need to use read_prop() which depends on sysfs
to get additional tun device information.
