Adding ifam_pid to ifa_msghdr
Hi List!
Unlike rtm_msghdr, ifam_msghdr has no idea of the identity of the process who
added or deleted an address.
This is important for processes which add/delete addresses while listening for
3rd parties to add/delete addresses as well, so self generated messages can be
ignored.
Here is a simple patch which adds ifam_pid to ifa_msghdr so the identity of
the sender is known.

Unless anyone objects, I will add this soon.
