Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/5] netpoll: Remove unused fields from
 inet_addr union

Clean up the inet_addr union by removing unused fields that are
redundant with existing members:

This simplifies the union structure while maintaining all necessary
functionality for both IPv4 and IPv6 address handling.
