ipv6: avoid dad-failures for addresses with NODAD
Every address gets added with TENTATIVE flag even for the addresses with
IFA_F_NODAD flag and dad-work is scheduled for them. During this DAD process
we realize it's an address with NODAD and complete the process without
sending any probe. However the TENTATIVE flags stays on the
address for sometime enough to cause misinterpretation when we receive a NS.
While processing NS, if the address has TENTATIVE flag, we mark it DADFAILED
and endup with an address that was originally configured as NODAD with
DADFAILED.
We can't avoid scheduling dad_work for addresses with NODAD but we can
avoid adding TENTATIVE flag to avoid this racy situation.
