[net-next PATCH v2] ipv6: recreate ipv6 link-local addresses when increasing MTU over IPV6_MIN_MTU

From: Alexander Duyck <hidden>
Date: 2015-10-26 18:06:35
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [ipv4/ipv6], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, David Ahern, Ido Schimmel, Linus Torvalds

This change makes it so that we reinitialize the interface if the MTU is
increased back above IPV6_MIN_MTU and the interface is up.
