Subject: Linux 4.9.55 break network setup because dhcp client gets an error

Hi,

Just compiled a fresh 4.9.55, with same .config, same user space than 
4.9.54 and discovered I had no network because ifup fails because dhcp 
cleint fails. As everything is identical, 4.9.54 still works, I guess 
one patch in net/core/... did break something.
