[PATCH linux-2.6 v2] IPv6: Create temporary address if noneexists.

[Glenn Wurster]

If privacy extentions are enabled, but no current temporary address exists,
then create one when we get a router advertisement.

Version 2, now with 100% fewer line wraps.  Thanks to David Miller for
pointing out the line wrapping issue.
