Description
# Bug report
if linux kernel `CONFIG_DUMMY=y` (or `CONFIG_DUMMY=m` and module is loaded) then
`find_candidate_nics_on_linux` function will pay attention to 'dummy' nics.
the 'dummy' nic is never going to get you to the metadata service (or anywhere for that matter).
## Environment details
- Cloud-init version: main e67b35901e33f540a51542e3168e21dc2d324d4d
- Cloud provider, platform or installer type: AWS
