[PATCH net-next v03 1/3] af_packet: allow fanout_add when socket is not RUNNING

From: Gur Stavi
Date: Thu Oct 10 2024 - 06:27:12 EST


PACKET socket can retain its fanout membership through link down and up
and leave a fanout while closed regardless of link state.
However, socket was forbidden from joining a fanout while it was not
RUNNING.

This patch allows PACKET socket to join fanout while not RUNNING.

The previous test for RUNNING also implicitly tested that the socket is
bound to a device. An explicit test of ifindex was added instead.
