IPv6 Routing table becomes broken once we do ifdown, ifup of the loopback(lo)
interface. After down-up, routes of other interface's IPv6 addresses through
'lo' are lost.
IPv6 addresses assigned to all interfaces are routed through 'lo' for internal
communication. Once 'lo' is down, those routing entries are removed from
routing table. But those removed entries are not being re-created properly when
'lo' is brought up. So IPv6 addresses of other interfaces becomes unreachable
from the same machine. Also this breaks communication with other machines
because of NDISC packet processing failure.
This patch fixes this issue by reading all interface's IPv6 addresses and
adding them to IPv6 routing table while bringing up 'lo'.
Patch is prepared for Linux-3.9.rc4 kernel.

I think this cannot work because we may have missing index.
Why no dev_get_by_name()?

I might 'work' because lo interface index is 1 on all network
namespaces.
But yes, this ugly loop is not needed at all.
