iplink: double the buffer size also in iplink_get()
Commit 72b365e8e0fd ("libnetlink: Double the dump buffer size") increased
the buffer size for "ip link show" command to 32 KB to handle NICs with
large number of VFs. With "dev" filter, a different code path is taken and
iplink_get() still uses only 16 KB buffer.
The size of 32768 is not very future-proof as NICs supporting 120-128 VFs
are already in use so that single RTM_NEWLINK message in the dump can
exceed 30000 bytes. But it's what rtnl_talk() and rtnl_dump_filter_l() use
so let's be consistent. Once this proves insufficient, all three sizes
should be increased.
