dont use F_MATCH : check net/core/rtnetlink.c

vi +1660 net/core/rtnetlink.c

You _dont_ want to call 'dumpit' : so dont use a bit present in
NLM_F_DUMP at all:

        if (kind == 2 && nlh->nlmsg_flags&NLM_F_DUMP) {
                struct sock *rtnl;
                rtnl_dumpit_func dumpit;

                dumpit = rtnl_get_dumpit(family, type);
                if (dumpit == NULL)
                        return -EOPNOTSUPP;

                __rtnl_unlock();
                rtnl = net->rtnl;
                err = netlink_dump_start(rtnl, skb, nlh, dumpit, NULL);
                rtnl_lock();
                return err;
        }

You want instead to call the 'doit' handler  (one device only)

        doit = rtnl_get_doit(family, type);
        if (doit == NULL)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;

        return doit(skb, nlh, (void *)&rta_buf[0]);
