Aurelien DARRAGON cc3dfe89ed MEDIUM: sink/log: stop relying on AF_UNSPEC for rings
Since a5b325f92 ("MINOR: protocol: add a real family for existing FDs"),
we don't rely anymore on AF_UNSPEC for buffer rings in do_send_log.

But we kept it as a parsing hint to differentiate between implicit and
named rings during ring buffer postparsing.

However it is still a bit confusing and forces us to systematically rely
on target->addr, even for named buffer rings where it doesn't make much
sense anymore.

Now that target->addr was made a pointer in a recent commit, we can
choose not to initialize it when not needed (i.e.: named rings) and use
this as a hint to distinguish implicit rings during init since they rely
on the addr struct to temporarily store the ring's address until the ring
is actually created during postparsing step.
