Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: If a public address is deleted then also delete
 all temporary addresses still referring to it

If a public address is deleted by an external trigger (e.g. via inet6_rtm_deladdr) then temporary
addresses still referring to it may remain. Happened here when the WiFi link broke and netifd
deleted the public address. Once the link was back and prefix_rcv created new public addresses
ipv6_create_tempaddr complained that the temporary address already existed.
IMHO no temporary address should live longer than its parent, especially because ifpub of the
temporary address still points to the then deleted public address otherwise.

Therefore delete all related temporary addresses before a public address is deleted in inet6_addr_del
which is called by inet6_rtm_del.

Also ensure in ipv6_del_addr that no temporary address lives longer than its parent.
However in addrconf_verify it might not be predetermined in which order a public address and the related
temporary address are deleted if they expire at the same time. Not sure about that ..
