Recent changes preserve IPv6 address when link goes down (good).
But would cause address to point to dead dst entry (bad).
The simplest fix is to just not delete route if address is
being held for later use.

Patch is for 2.6.34-stable (problem doesn't exist in earlier kernel)
Normally I wait for David to send networking patches for the stable
trees, so I would like to get David's ack on these two before I am
willing to apply them.
These two are fine to go to -stable, Greg please integrate.
