[ Upstream commit 6819a14ecbe2e089e5c5bb74edecafdde2028a00 ]

Commit f784ad3d79e5 ("ipv6: do not send RTM_DELADDR for tentative
addresses") incorrectly assumes that no RTM_NEWADDR are sent for
addresses in tentative state, as this does happen for the standard
IPv6 use-case of DAD failure, see the call to ipv6_ifa_notify() in
addconf_dad_stop(). So as a result of this change, no RTM_DELADDR is
sent after DAD failure for a link-local when strict DAD (accept_dad=2)
is configured, or on the next admin down in other cases. The absence
of this notification breaks backwards compatibility and causes problems
after DAD failure if this notification was being relied on. The
solution is to allow RTM_DELADDR to still be sent after DAD failure.
