Actually, DAD is done on a link up; you can see the notifications go out 
when the link is brought up:

18:46:28.519907 IP6 :: > ff02::1:ff00:10: ICMP6, neighbor solicitation, 
who has 2001:1::10, length 24
18:46:28.607650 IP6 :: > ff02::1:ff03:402: ICMP6, neighbor solicitation, 
who has fe80::1:2ff:fe03:402, length 24

So current top of tree works fine wrt DAD on addresses added when a link 
is down and then the link is brought up.

But, my previous patch does not re-send notifications on the up in a 
down-up cycle. I believe it is because the IFA_F_TENTATIVE flag is not 
set for the global address configured. I will address that in the 
revised patch.
