[IPV6]: Address autoconfiguration does not work after device down/up cycle
If you set network interface down and up again, the IPv6 address autoconfiguration does not work. 'ip addr' shows that the link-local address is in tentative state. We don't even react to periodical router advertisements. During NETDEV_DOWN we clear IF_READY, and we don't set it back in NETDEV_UP. While starting to perform DAD on the link-local address, we notice that the device is not in IF_READY, and we abort autoconfiguration process (which would eventually send router solicitations).
