PATCH 1/1 ipv6: reallocate addrconf router for ipv6 address when lo, device up

Hi David,

Please queue this for 3.4 stable kernel.

It fix the bug 67951 on bugzilla
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67951

The patch can't be applied directly, as it' used the function introduced by "commit 94e187c0" ip6_rt_put(), that patch can't be applied directly either.

====================
