Subject: [PATCH iproute2] ss: do not bindly dump two families

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

ss currently dumps IPv4 sockets, then IPv6 sockets from the kernel,
even if -4 or -6 option was given. Filtering in user space then has to
drop all sockets of wrong family. Such a waste of time...

Before :

$ time ss -tn -4 | wc -l
251659

real	0m1.241s
user	0m0.423s
sys	0m0.806s

After:

$ time ss -tn -4 | wc -l
251672

real	0m0.779s
user	0m0.412s
sys	0m0.386s
