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.
