ipv6: send Change Status Report after DAD is completed
The RFC 3810 defines two type of messages for multicast listeners. The "Current State Report" message, as the name implies, refreshes the *current* state to the querier. Since the querier sends Query messages periodically, there is no need to retransmit the report. On the other hand, any change should be reported immediately using "State Change Report" messages. Since it's an event triggered by a change and that it can be affected by packet loss, the rfc states it should be retransmitted [RobVar] times to make sure routers will receive timely. Currently, we are sending "Current State Reports" after DAD is completed. Before that, we send messages using unspecified address (::) which should be silently discarded by routers. This patch changes to send "State Change Report" messages after DAD is completed fixing the behavior to be RFC compliant and also to pass TAHI IPv6 testsuite.
