Revert "rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for CHANGEADDR event"
This reverts commit cd8966e75ed3c6b41a37047a904617bc44fa481f. The duplicate CHANGEADDR event message is sent regardless of link status whereas the setlink changes only generate a notification when the link is up. Not sending a notification when the link is down breaks dhcpcd which only processes hwaddr changes when the link is down. Fixes reported regression: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196355 Reported-by: Yaroslav Isakov <yaroslav.isakov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
