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.

Please post networking patches to the networking mailing list,
netdev@vger.kernel.org, because most of the networking
developers do not read linux-kernel
Thank you.
