Since the addrconf router is moved to the garbage list when lo device down, we should release this router and rellocate a new one for ipv6 address when lo device up. This patch solves bug 67951 on bugzilla https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67951 change from v1: use ip6_rt_put to repleace ip6_del_rt, thanks Hannes! change code style, suggested by Sergei.
