Passing a filter expression and selecting an address family using the '-f' flag would overwrite the state filter by accident. Therefore calling e.g. 'ss -nl -f inet '(sport = :22)' would not only print listening sockets (as requested by '-l' flag) but connected ones, as well.
Fix this by reusing the formerly ineffective call to filter_states_set() to restore the state filter as it was before the call to filter_af_set().
