Subject: [PATCH] Prevent a segfault of "rpcinfo -b" on systems with tuntap
 devices

Linux tuntap devices and other virtual network devices, if not
configured, will be reported by getifaddrs() with a NULL ifa_addr
pointer. __rpc_getifaddrs would trip over that, because it derefenced
the ifa_addr pointer without checking.
