    Revert "linux: fix reporting NL_RTM_DELLINK to Netlink sockets"
    
    I received a report that certain Linux application would crash on a
    message of a departure of an interface with FreeBSD name.  Looks like
    dropping NL_RTM_DELLINK is a lesser evil than relay them with FreeBSD
    names.
    
    This reverts commit 554907bac3b264863a051f75eedc35d180d3e18c.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 1014003c538ccf8b258c9f0b11c0c131573a63cf)
