LLDP discovery fails when I have NICs that aren't plugged in on my server

[Sam Betts]

IPA creates a raw socket for these NICs which mark themselves as ready to read, so IPA tries to read data from them and gets a "Network is down" error. Processing of the network interfaces is handled sequentially which means if there is a NIC that fails processing before one of my NICs that are actually plugged in then it skips the rest of the NICs and so no LLDP data is received for any NIC after that.

    [LLDP] Skip NICs that say they are ready but are unreadable.

    While listening for LLDP packets, if one of the sockets marks itself as
    ready to read then our code will try to read data from that socket, but
    if something goes wrong while reading that data then it causes IPA to
    raise out of the loop skipping any other of the other NICs which might
    have worked. This patch adds code to catch and LOG any exception that is
    raised while we are trying to read data from one of the sockets so that
    we can proceed to process all the NICs.
