Unless promote_secondaries has been active deleting the primary address of
an interface will automatically delete all the secondary addresses.
In the case where ip flush requests the primary then secondary addresses to
be removed - which is the order the addresses are returned by the kernel -
this will cause an error as by the time the request to remove a secondary
address is made it will be missing as it will have been deleted in the
course of deleting the primary address.
This approach to solving this problem orders requests for the
deletion of secondary addresses before primary ones providing
rtnl_dump_filter_l(), a version of rtnl_dump_filter() that
iterates over a list of filters. And by providing two specialised
filters print_addrinfo_secondary() and print_addrinfo_primary().
rtnl_dump_filter_l() first iterates over all addresses using
print_addrinfo_secondary(), which appends secondary addresses to the
request buffer. Then again using print_addrinfo_primary() which appends
primary addresses.
This approach should work regardless of it promote_secondaries is
active or not. And regardless of if any primary of secondary addresses
are present or not.

It uses 1MB as receive buf limit by default (without
increasing /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max it will be limited by less
however) and allows to specify the size manually using "-rcvbuf X"
(-r is already used, so you need to specify at least -rc).
Additionally rtnl_listen() continues on ENOBUFS after printing the
error message.
Some usages of rtnl_send could cause errors (ie flush requests)
others do a listen afterwards.

This adds capability for iproute2 to send nested attributes to the
kernel, while maintaining backwards compatibility.
