veth: decide peer queue count from the peer's own attributes

veth_newlink() creates the peer netdev from tbp, which points at the
nested VETH_INFO_PEER attributes when they are supplied (peer_tb) and
only aliases the primary device's tb otherwise. However the queue
reduction is gated on the primary device's attributes:

	err = veth_init_queues(peer, tb);

veth_init_queues() checks !tb[IFLA_NUM_{TX,RX}_QUEUES], so for the peer
it inspects the wrong attribute set whenever nested peer attributes are
used:

 - If the user requests IFLA_NUM_TX/RX_QUEUES only for the peer, tb
   carries no such attribute and veth_init_queues() still shrinks the
   peer's real_num_{tx,rx}_queues back to 1, silently dropping the
   user's explicit multi-queue request for the peer.

 - If the user requests the counts only for the primary device, the
   peer keeps nr_possible_cpus real queues instead of the legacy
   default of 1.

Pass tbp so the peer's queue count is decided from the peer's own
attributes. When no nested peer attributes are given tbp aliases tb, so
the common case is unchanged.
