    ipv6: properly combine dev_base_seq and ipv6.dev_addr_genid
    
    [ Upstream commit e898e4cd1aab271ca414f9ac6e08e4c761f6913c ]
    
    net->dev_base_seq and ipv6.dev_addr_genid are monotonically increasing.
    
    If we XOR their values, we could miss to detect if both values
    were changed with the same amount.
    
    Fixes: 63998ac24f83 ("ipv6: provide addr and netconf dump consistency info")
