3.8.13.22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 1c104a6bebf3c16b6248408b84f91d09ac8a26b6 ]
Commit 3ff661c38c84 ("net: rtnetlink notify events for FDB NTF_SELF adds and
deletes") reuses the function nlmsg_populate_fdb_fill() to notify fdb events.
But this function was used only for dump and thus was always setting the
flag NLM_F_MULTI, which is wrong in case of a single notification.
Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.
