[PATCH 2/2] IPv6: only notify protocols if address is completely gone

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>]

The notifier for address down should only be called if address is completely
gone, not just being marked as tentative on link transition. The code
in net-next would case bonding/sctp/s390 to see address disappear on link
down, but they would never see it reappear on link up.
