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.
