[PATCH 1/2] util: Add helper to return name of address family

[David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>]

We have a few places where we want to include the name of the internet
protocol version (IPv4 or IPv6) in a message, which we handle with an
open-coded ?: expression.

This seems like something that might be more widely useful, so make a
trivial helper to return the correct string based on the address family.
