Already picked up header from kernel update

How is this backwards compatible with older kernels? You are always setting
flag. The design of the kernel attribute may be broken and have to be
reverted.

Old iproute2 has to work on 4.21 and new iproute2 has to work on old kernels
(even 2.6.32).


A bigger problem is you added a way to set the option without a corresponding 
way
to display the current settings. You need to look for and decode the netlink
attribute. And once again the API has to work backwards and forwards.
