ipv4: Fix address dump when IPv4 is disabled on an interface
[ Upstream commit 7b05ab85e28f615e70520d24c075249b4512044e ]
Cited commit started returning an error when user space requests to dump
the interface's IPv4 addresses and IPv4 is disabled on the interface.
Restore the previous behavior and do not return an error.
Before cited commit:

I fixed the exact same issue for IPv6 in commit c04f7dfe6ec2 ("ipv6: Fix
address dump when IPv6 is disabled on an interface"), but noted [1] that
I am not doing the change for IPv4 because I am not aware of a way to
disable IPv4 on an interface other than unregistering it. I clearly
missed the above case.
