Jiri Pirko a4c6d53e5f devlink: allow devlink instance allocation without a backing device ...

Allow devlink_alloc_ns() to be called with dev=NULL to support
device-less devlink instances. When dev is NULL, the instance is
identified over netlink using "devlink_index" as bus_name and
the decimal index value as dev_name.
