[PATCH] IPv6 anycast refcnt fix

[Michal Wrobel]

This patch fixes a bug in Linux IPv6 stack which caused anycast address 
to be added to a device prior DAD has been completed. This led to 
incorrect reference count which resulted in infinite wait for 
unregister_netdevice completion on interface removal.
