[PATCH iproute2] ss: fix end-of-line printing in misc/ss.c

[Brian Vazquez]

Before commit 5883c6eba517, function field_is_last() was incorrectly
reporting which column was the last because it was missing COL_PROC
and by purely coincidence it was correctly printing the end-of-line and
moving to the first column since the very last field was empty, and
end-of-line was added for the last non-empty token since it was seen as
the last field.

This commits correcrly prints the end-of-line for the last entrien in
the ss command.

Tested:
diff <(./ss.old -nltp) <(misc/ss -nltp)

This commit message is really hard to understand and causes warnings
in checkpatch. Also, blaming old code for doing the right thing
is not necessary. The changelog doesn't need to explain why.
The offending commit is already referenced by the fixes line.

Instead, I propose:


The previous change to ss to show header broke the printing of end-of-line
for the last entry.

Fixes: 5883c6eba517 ("ss: show header for --processes/-p")

This makes sense, I'll fix it in next version. Thanks!
