net: limit altnames to 64k total
Property list (altname is a link "property") is wrapped in a nlattr. nlattrs length is 16bit so practically speaking the list of properties can't be longer than that, otherwise user space would have to interpret broken netlink messages. Prevent the problem from occurring by checking the length of the property list before adding new entries.
