[PATCH] ipv6: always add flag an address that failed DAD with DADFAILED
From: Lubomir Rintel <lkundrak@v3.sk>
Date: 2016-01-08 12:47:47
The userspace needs to know why is the address being removed so that it can perhaps obtain a new address. Without the DADFAILED flag it's impossible to distinguish removal of a temporary and tentative address due to DAD failure from other reasons (device removed, manual address removal).
