[PATCH] properly handle point-to-point interfaces in getifaddrs()

[Jo-Philipp Wich <jow@openwrt.org>]

With point-to-point interfaces, the IFA_ADDRESS netlink attribute contains
the peer address while an extra attribute IFA_LOCAL carries the actual local
interface address.

Both the glibc and uclibc implementations of getifaddrs() handle this case
by moving the ifa_addr contents to the broadcast/remote address union and
overwriting ifa_addr upon receipt of an IFA_LOCAL attribute.

This patch adds the same special treatment logic of IFA_LOCAL to musl's
implementation of getifaddrs() in order to align its behaviour with that
of uclibc and musl.
