Revert "rtnetlink: Do not generate notifications for CHANGEADDR event"
[ Upstream commit 3753654e ] This reverts commit cd8966e7. The duplicate CHANGEADDR event message is sent regardless of link status whereas the setlink changes only generate a notification when the link is up. Not sending a notification when the link is down breaks dhcpcd which only processes hwaddr changes when the link is down.
