[PATCH] Linux: Implement opensock using Netlink sockets

[fweimer@redhat.com (Florian Weimer)]

inet/tst-inet6_scopeid_pton uses __opensock indirectly, to call ioctl
with SIOCGIFINDEX, and it still works after this change.

2018-06-18  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/opensock.c (__opensock): Unconditionally
	return a Netlink socket.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/opensock.c: Remove file.
