[PATCH updated] IPV6: Call inet6addr_chain notifiers on link down

Ok... This one was taken off the the system actually running the patch
so I know this one is correct.  I just retested, turning on temporary
addresses as well, and the notification happen correctly.

I was expecting an ACK from Yoshifuji-san before you applied it so feel
free to wait for it.

Currently if the link is brought down via ip link or ifconfig down,
the inet6addr_chain notifiers are not called even though all
the addresses are removed from the interface.  This caused SCTP
to add duplicate addresses to it's list.

Applied, thanks Vlad.

I'll push this to -stable too.
