Subject: [PATCH iproute2 v2 1/3] ip address: do not set nodad option for IPv4 addresses

Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4862) is available only for IPv6
addresses. As a consequence, 'nodad' option, turning it off, should
be available only for IPv6, and is defined like that in the man page.

However it is possible to set nodad on IPv4 addresses, too:

$ ip link add dummy0 type dummy
$ ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.1 dev dummy0 nodad
$ ip a
1: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
   link/ether 1a:6d:c6:96:ca:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
   inet 192.168.1.1/32 scope global nodad dummy0
      valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Fix this adding a check on the protocol family before setting
IFA_F_NODAD flag.

Fixes: bac735c53a36d ("enabled to manipulate the flags of IFA_F_HOMEADDRESS or IFA_F_NODAD from ip.")
