I think treewide change is easy enough, this seems to work:

@ops1@
identifier newfn, ops;
@@
static struct rtnl_link_ops ops = {
        .newlink = newfn,
...
};

@@
identifier ops1.newfn;
identifier src_net, dev, tb, data;

+          struct nlattr *tb[], struct nlattr *data[],
+          struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
{...}

@ops2@

static struct rtnl_link_ops ops = {
        .changelink = chfn,

I guess if there are any stragglers you'd find them by compile-testing
:)
