Subject: [PATCH] [IPv6] Do not update all temporary address, only the one
	with the same prefix

Only the temporary address with the same prefix should be updated

I was wondering why my temporary address would always become deprecated,
the reason was that my ISP is advertizing two prefixes, one is with
preferred lifetime = 0, the other isn't.
As soon as an RA came, it updated the lifetime of both adresses to 0.

The check for the prefix_len isn't necessary since it should always be 64,
maybe it could be removed, I don't know
