commit 37c9b94ed21d5779acc23d89a4 (add support for extended ifa_flags)
introduced a regression:

        # ./ip/ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0
        RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

This is due to old kernels don't support IFA_FLAGS flag, we should not
use it if we don't use the flags beyond old .ifa_flags.
