netlink: Fix IFF_UP flag handling in RTM_NEWLINK's modify_link handler

IFF_UP could previously only be unset via RTM_NEWLINK. Requests to set
IFF_UP, though they succeed, did not actually set the flag.

RTM_NEWLINK messages with ifi_change=0 are treated as
ifi_change=0xFFFFFFFF, modifying all the link flags (currently IFF_UP
and IFF_PROMISC) to match the behavior seen on Linux.
