This patch is cleaner but still fails for the non ::1 address case.

 # ip addr add 2000:db8::1/64 dev lo
 # ping6 ::1                                 -- works
 # ping6 2000:db8::1                         --works
 # ip li set dev lo down
 # ping6 ::1                                 -- does not work (expected)
 # ping6 2000:db8::1                         -- ditto
 # ip il set dev lo up
 # ping6 ::1                                 -- works (good)
 # ping6 2000:db8::1                         -- fails (network unreachable)


Looks like connected route is not getting restored correctly, probably
because loopback has NOARP flag set. 

The problem may not be true for just loopback, it may also apply to
tunnels.
