[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 016/146] bridge/mdb: remove wrong use of NLM_F_MULTI

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 821996795973fd52703c35811a03db9fec1ac141 upstream.

NLM_F_MULTI must be used only when a NLMSG_DONE message is sent. In fact,
it is sent only at the end of a dump.

Libraries like libnl will wait forever for NLMSG_DONE.

Fixes: 37a393bc4932 ("bridge: notify mdb changes via netlink")
