selftests: rtnetlink: Add operational state test
Virtual devices (e.g., VXLAN) that do not have a notion of a carrier are created with an "UNKNOWN" operational state which some users find confusing [1]. It is possible to set the operational state from user space either during device creation or afterwards and some applications will start doing that in order to avoid the above problem. Add a test for this functionality to ensure it does not regress. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241119153703.71f97b76@hermes.local/ Reviewed-by:Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by:
