H A Drtnetlink.cdiff 64ff90cc2e6f42596d7a0c37e41dc95292bb63b1 Sun Oct 15 05:13:45 CDT 2017 Xin Long <lucien.xin@gmail.com> rtnetlink: check DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY correctly in do_setlink

The check 'status & DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY' in do_setlink doesn't really
work after status & DO_SETLINK_MODIFIED, as:

DO_SETLINK_MODIFIED 0x1
DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY 0x3

Considering that notifications are suppposed to be sent only when
status have the flag DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY, the right check would be:

(status & DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY) == DO_SETLINK_NOTIFY

This would avoid lots of duplicated notifications when setting some
properties of a link.
