Subject: [PATCH 2/2] manager: fix race condition while enumerating devices at
startup
While enumerating devices at startup, we take a snapshot of existing
links from platform and we start creating device instances for
them. It's possible that in the meantime, while processing netlink
events in platform_link_added(), a link gets renamed. If that happens,
then we have two different views of the same ifindex: the cached link
from `links` and the link in platform.
This can cause issues: in platform_link_added() we create the device
with the cached name; then in NMDevice's constructor(), we look up
from platform the ifindex for the given name. Because of the rename,
this lookup can match a newly created, different link.
The end result is that the ifindex from the initial snapshot doesn't
get a NMDevice and is not handled by NetworkManager.
Fix this problem by fetching the latest version of the link from
platform to make sure we have a consistent view of the state.
