Solution patch

Description of problem:
Despite non-zero interface_fadeout, interface is deleted immediately if ifLastChange is more than interface_fadeout ago.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-snmp-libs-5.7.2-28.el7.x86_64
net-snmp-5.7.2-28.el7.x86_64
net-snmp-agent-libs-5.7.2-28.el7.x86_64
net-snmp-utils-5.7.2-28.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set interface_fadeout 60 in snmpd.conf ; restart snmpd.
2. Add dummy1 interface to the system:
$ ip link add dummy1 type dummy
3. Query list of interfaces via snmp. Make sure that dummy1 interface is present in snmpd output
$ snmptable -v 2c -c public localhost ifTable
4. Wait for more than 60 seconds (interface_fadeout time)
5. Deleted dummy1 interface from the system:
$ ip link del dummy1
6. Query list of interfaces via snmp.
$ snmptable -v 2c -c public localhost ifTable

Actual results:
dummy1 interface disappears from snmpd output immediately after it is deleted from the system despite non-zero interface_fadeout

Expected results:
dummy1 interface will be present in snmpd output within interface_fadeout seconds after the deletion
