This is useful to know the 'real' status of an interface (the flag IFF_PROMISC
is exported by the kernel only when the user set it explicitly, for example it
will not be exported when a tcpdump is running).

This information will be displayed when '-details' is provided by the user.

Example:
$ ip -d l l tun10
6: tun10: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/sit 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121
    sit remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249 ttl inherit pmtudisc 6rd-prefix 2002::/16
    promiscuity 2

v2: because IFLA_PROMISCUITY is read only, display it only when '-details' is
    provided (and even if the value is zero)
