Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/5] net/ipv6: don't reinitialize ndev->cnf.addr_gen_mode on new inet6_dev

The value has already been copied from this netns's devconf_dflt, it
shouldn't be reset to the global kernel default.

Fixes: d35a00b8e33d ("net/ipv6: allow sysctl to change link-local address generation mode")
