Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rtnetlink: send a single notification on device state changes

In do_setlink() a single notification is sent at the end of the function
if any modification occured. If the address has been changed, another
notification is sent.

Both of them is required because originally only the NETDEV_CHANGEADDR
notification was sent and although device state change implies address
change, some programs may expect the original notification. It remains
for compatibity.
