Description
Avahi uses netlink to determine the list of interfaces and the list of addresses in the system. When doing so we perform a NLM_F_ROOT search. Previously this would (incorrectly) return all matches due to a bug in the kernel decoding of the NLM_F_* flags. Following the commit below this is now corrected leading the avahi daemon to hang on start:

netlink: test for all flags of the NLM_F_DUMP composite
See attached patch which fixed up our netlink request to also request NLM_F_MATCH to formally request all matches.
