Subject: [PATCH 101/104] netdev-linux: Let interface flag survive internal
port setup
Due to a race condition when bringing up an internal port on Linux
some interface flags (e.g. IFF_MULTICAST) are falsely reset. This
happens because netlink events may be processed after the according
netdev has been brought up (which sets interface flags).
Fix this by reading the interface flags just before updating them
if they have not been updated by from the kernel yet.
