appletalk: Improve handling of broadcast packets
When a broadcast AppleTalk packet is received, prefer queuing it on the socket whose address matches the address of the interface that received the packet (and is listening on the correct port). Userspace applications that handle such packets will usually send a response on the same socket that received the packet; this fix allows the response to be sent on the correct interface. If a socket matching the interface's address is not found, an arbitrary socket listening on the correct port will be used, if any. This matches the implementation's previous behavior. Fixes atalkd's responses to network information requests when multiple network interfaces are configured to use AppleTalk.
