The glibc code shows that the ifa_netmask maybe NULL:
...
if (__ioctl (fd, SIOCGIFNETMASK, ifr) < 0)
        storage[i].ia.ifa_netmask = NULL;
else
        {
          storage[i].ia.ifa_netmask = &storage[i].netmask;
          storage[i].netmask = ifr->ifr_netmask;
        }
...

I think we should check ifa_name too because we don't know what would happen in glibc
and we should guarantee that ovs-vswitchd not crash.
