Subject: [PATCH 1/1] fixup! ipv6 addrconf: introduce IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR to tell kernel to manage temporary addresses

Handle IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR flag when modifying existing addresses too.

Hi,

I'd like to suggest this change, I think it makes it easier for the user space
application to set this flag of (potentially) existing addresses.

Note, that if the flag gets cleared if the ifa had it set before
and the temporary addresses will exprire immediatly. This makes sense
for me.

Or if we don't want this, then the command should fail (EEXIST?) when trying
to set MANAGETEMPADDR for an existing address that doesn't have the flag already.

Thomas
