Currently, there is a difference in netlink events received when an
interface is modified through bridge ioctl() or through netlink. This
patch generates additional events when an interface is added to or
removed from a bridge via ioctl().
When adding then removing an interface from a bridge with netlink, we
get:
5: dummy1: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bridge0 state UNKNOWN group default

Without this patch, the last netlink notification is not sent.
