+Subject: [PATCH] ip link: Remove unnecessary device checking
+
+The real checking is performed later in iplink_modify(..) func which
+checks device existence if NLM_F_CREATE flag is set.
+
+Also it fixes the case when impossible to add veth link which was
+caused by 9a02651a87 (ip: check for missing dev arg when doing VF rate)
+because these devices are not exist yet.
