[PATCH] iproute2: Add ll_index_to_addr function

[PATCH] iproute2: Add ll_index_to_addr function

[David Ward]

After calling ll_init_map, all of the information stored in the link-layer map
can be retrieved by function calls (ll_index_to_*), except for the link-layer
address. This patch fills the gap by adding a ll_index_to_addr function.
Changes welcome.
