Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ip/ip6_gre: Fix changing addr gen mode not generating IPv6 link local address

Commit e5dd729460ca changed the code path so that GRE tunnels
generate an IPv6 address based on the tunnel source address.
It also changed the code path so GRE tunnels don't call addrconf_addr_gen
in addrconf_dev_config which is called by addrconf_sysctl_addr_gen_mode
when the IN6_ADDR_GEN_MODE is changed.

This patch aims to fix this issue by moving the code in addrconf_notify
which calls the addr gen for GRE and SIT into a separate function
and calling it in the places that expect the IPv6 address to be
generated.

The previous addrconf_dev_config is renamed to addrconf_eth_config
since it only expected eth type interfaces and follows the
addrconf_gre/sit_config format.

Fixes: e5dd729460ca ("ip/ip6_gre: use the same logic as SIT interfaces when computing v6LL address")
