Subject: Fixes mixed-up messages on netlink socket

Under specific circumstances there might be two mixed-up
netlink sessions (one for scan, the other for route change
request). This patch separates netlink scans and requests
to two fds (and seq counters).

This should fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428865
