Turns out genetlink isn't the only place where &NLM_F_DUMP is used 
without ==NLM_F_DUMP.
Thus I am adding it to other spots in net/ too.

netlink: test for all flags of the NLM_F_DUMP composite

Due to NLM_F_DUMP is composed of two bits, NLM_F_ROOT | NLM_F_MATCH,
when doing "if (x & NLM_F_DUMP)", it tests for _either_ of the bits
being set. Because NLM_F_MATCH's value overlaps with NLM_F_EXCL,
non-dump requests with NLM_F_EXCL set are mistaken as dump requests.

Substitute the condition to test for _all_ bits being set.
