Subject: [PATCH net] team: prevent ipv6 link local address on port devices

The similar fix from commit c2edacf80e15 ("bonding / ipv6: no addrconf
for slaves separately from master") is also needed in Team. Otherwise,
DAD and RS packets to be sent from the slaves in turn can confuse the
switches and cause them to incorrectly update their forwarding tables
as Liang noticed in the test with activebackup mode.

Note that the patch also sets IFF_MASTER flag for Team dev accordingly
while IFF_SLAVE flag is set for port devs. Although IFF_MASTER flag is
not really used in Team, it's good to show in 'ip link':

  eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP>
  team0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP>

Fixes: 3d249d4ca7d0 ("net: introduce ethernet teaming device")
