Commit Message

Fix "message too long" error for InfiniBand devices with many VFs

When configuring InfiniBand devices with many VFs, LinkByName() can fail
with "message too long" because the kernel's netlink response exceeds the
~16KB message limit. This happens because LinkByName requests all VF info
(including GUIDs) via RTEXT_FILTER_VF, which generates very large messages
for IB devices.

This commit adds a fallback mechanism:
- Add LinkByNameForSetVf() method that reads minimal link info (name and
  index) directly from sysfs instead of using netlink
- Update configSriovVFDevices() to catch "message too long" errors and
  fall back to LinkByNameForSetVf()
- Add unit test covering the fallback scenario

The fallback only triggers when the specific "message too long" error
occurs, preserving normal behavior for Ethernet devices and IB devices
with fewer VFs.
