Subject: [PATCH 0 of 5] IPv6: Fix temporary address support

This is the set of patches I needed to make IPv6 temporary addresses
work in my setup.

First my ISP advertizes 2 prefixes, this was not tested with the current code.
Next one of the prefix has a preferred lifetime of 0, the current code
didn't follow the rfc (no temporary addresses should be created in this case).
Finally the other patch results from my test using a small tmp_preferred_lifetime
and the issues I encountered in this case.

The second patch is probably the most important of the serie and worth applying
to stable, without it I can't use temporary addresses.

Please review and consider applying.

Benoit

PS: I noticed that MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR was used to calculated the preferred
    lifetime, instead of a random number between 0 and MAX_DESYNC_FACTOR. Is
    this on purpose, or should a write a patch ?
