Adding a call to add_ifidx() makes sense, but not in this location. This
would end up adding interfaces to the list multiple times and then being
left there even after del_ifidx() call which is removing only a single
entry. I'd assume this new add_ifidx() call should be much earlier in
this function. To be more exact, where the ifdex == -ENFILE is checked.
